Course Syllabus
Abstract
This course is designed for the advanced learners of English and it sets its goal to improve students’ argumentative and writing skills, essential for taking content-based courses conducted in English, as well as for succeeding in future academic career.
After the completion of this course students should improve their overall English language proficiency: their writing, reading, listening and speaking skills. Yet, the principle focus of this course is not on the mechanics of language, but rather on the ‘mechanics’ of thinking and argumentation. During the course students will learn how to evaluate, construct, and orally present arguments in a compelling manner; how to analyze and document sources, how to employ various rhetorical strategies to express their ideas effectively and persuasively. While we will practice writing in and outside of class, the classroom activities would also engage students in discussions and debates. These activities should encourage students to listen to and to respond respectfully to opposing views, as well as to correct, revise, elaborate on, or further affirm their own argumentative positions. Most importantly though this class will emphasize writing not simply as a product of a semester-long work, but rather as a personal process of thinking, inquiry, and transformation.
