授業の概要と目的（何を学ぶか）Outline and objectives
Academic Writing Skills IA provides an overview of academic writing with a focus on understanding the writing process. In particular, this course focuses on the comprehension of foundational principles of writing that are helpful in developing academic papers. The related activities and tasks are completed through various interactive approaches in order to facilitate students’ thorough engagement in active communication in English. This will cultivate their reading, listening, and speaking skills in the target language as well as those of writing.
到達目標Goal
By the end of this course, students will be able to (1) describe the general steps to write academic papers, (2) explain specific techniques and strategies used in the process of developing papers, (3) apply what they learned to academic writing in other university-level courses, and (4) build confidence and competence in academic writing more generally, preparing them for Academic Writing Skills II.

Each class consists of two main parts: one is a short interactive lecture on writing concepts, such as paraphrasing, thesis statement, or paper outline; the second is longer, including a discussion on the week’s lesson and exercises to illustrate its central components (“now you try”). A variety of active learning techniques, such as in-class writing exercises, neighbor/class discussions, and comment sheets, are used to accommodate diverse student learning styles. Often we will work together on exercises, both in small groups and as a class. Verbal and written feedback on assignments is given during class discussions and through using other tools as appropriate. Also, a quick recapitulation of the previous class is given at the beginning of each class in order to reinforce students’ understanding of the connections between lessons.
