Academic Writing Skills II (Class 3)／Academic Writing Skills II (Class 3)

【授業の概要と目的（何を学ぶか） / Outline and objectives】
Academic Writing Skills II builds on the skills learned in Academic Writing Skills I and applies them to the organization and writing of a major research paper (in either the humanities or social sciences). Students are expected to take responsibility in choosing a theme and thoroughly researching it for the final paper, no less than 2500 words, excluding a bibliography (Times New Roman, 12-pt.font, double spaced [10 pages]). Course content includes essay organization, research strategies (collecting and evaluating references, conducting web searches, using electronic databases), bibliographic organization, and citation styles: footnotes, endnotes, or in-text forms of MLA and APA.
The related activities and tasks are completed mainly through such communicative approaches as presentation and discussion in order to facilitate students' thorough engagement in active communication in English. This will cultivate their listening and speaking skills in the target language as well as those of reading and writing.
