Objectives |
This is a successive and comprehensive stage of writing after students have been trained to create cohesive and comprehensible units of essay paragraphs. This course is intended to help student readers to develop skills in the reading and evaluation of analytic and descriptive texts, and other texts with different styles. Students will be exposed to experience diverse pre and post-reading exercises to highlight aspects of good writing, such as structure, rhetorical patterns and other features. Based on this skill, when students explore the rules and methods of essay-writing, they should be able to improve the effectiveness in presenting knowledge and viewpoints. This goal can be reached through the integration of language skills: reading, speaking, and writing and classroom activities such as discussion presentation, etc. |

| 教學內容 |
In consideration that most students don't have the mature concept about "sentence," this class will first concentrate on the formation of sentence. Then the importance of the relation between sentences will be mentioned. Students will be asked to memorize some well-written articles and write one essay every two weeks themselves. In class, of course, brainstorming before the stage of writing is necessary. And after teacher's revision, definitely, they have to revise their articles carefully. Every student needs to hand in at least 7 compositions in a semester. In this course, they should be well-prepared and active in having a discussion. Students are not allowed to be absent over three times. |
