① [対面]対面授業/ [On-site] On-site class

The goals of this course are to:
1) improve upon academic writing skills learned in the first semester, with a focus on the skills of writing academic reports,
2) improve academic reading skills, and
3) retain academic vocabulary. 

Regarding academic writing skills, students will be expected to learn how to do the following:
a) produce an outline for a paper;
b) select, evaluate, and use outside information sources; and
c) write an academic report through revision of several drafts with feedback.

An academic report may be a longer essay constructed according to rhetorical patterns of organization such as comparison/contrast and argumentation.
A report may also involve conducting or replicating a very simple scientific experiment, collecting and analyzing data, and writing it up with conventional
structures (e.g., abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, and reference list). 

By the end of this course, students will have acquired the following skills at varying levels.
Students will be able to:
- recall and use academic vocabulary.
- read and comprehend longer academic passages.
- develop an idea and write an essay outline.
- write an essay introduction that includes adequate topic background and a clear thesis statement.
- support ideas with outside source materials, sometimes provided by the instructor.
- select main points and some supporting details from news sources or academic texts.
- reproduce main ideas and some supporting details from news sources or academic texts.
- paraphrase texts using techniques to avoid plagiarism.
- summarize using strategies to avoid plagiarism. - cite information sources at a basic level (e.g., use of author's last name and year).
- create a basic reference list for the works cited.
