| 授業概要 Course Description |
During this course, we will be using a range of writing styles to investigate contemporary issues and improve our critical thinking skills. Classes will normally begin with a background discussion of a topic from the textbook, Good-bye Galapagos, followed by a reading of the chapter. Following this, students will work in pairs and small groups to explore the theme. Finally you will write an essay based upon the readings.
|
| 到達目標 Class Goals |
This course will introduce students to some genres of English writing, including self-introductions, personal stories, balanced essays, and descriptions of modern trends. By the end of the course, students will be able to more confidently apply these genres to issues beyond the in-class topics.
