Outline and objectives

College writing B builds on the skills learned in College Writing A and develops them with a set of supplementary writing strategies. It guides students to apply the acquired skills to the organization and writing of an original research paper.

Goal

The course provides students with essential tools and procedures for writing essays and research papers. Students learn to analyze and write the types of essays that commonly occur in academic contexts. They gain an understanding of how to plan and organize a major research paper, how to choose, evaluate, and use academic sources, and how to thereby develop their own original contribution to their fields. Students will also become competent in proofreading, editing, and revising drafts of their research paper.

Default language used in class

英語 / English

Method(s)(学期の途中で変更になる場合には、別途提示します。 /If the Method(s) is changed, we will announce the details of any changes. )

This course will be conducted partly as an on-demand class using Google Classroom and partly in the classroom. In the course, students complete a series of tasks that guide them to effective essay writing in a step-by-step manner. Students will first work on recognizing and identifying key writing structures from model essays. They then manipulate the structures in short tasks, and finally apply them to their own writing. Students will frequently work together, with a partner and with a group. They will share and edit each other’s writing and are expected to both give and receive constructive feedback on assignments. Feedback by the teacher will be given individually and to the whole class. Students need to submit one full-length research paper by the end of the term.
