● アカデミック・ライティング演習（上級Ⅰ）Ｅ

The aim of this course is to help students develop their essay writing skills, and guide them in writing their graduation papers in English through a process approach. This includes brainstorming, planning, research, editing, and re-writing until the final outline is produced. Students will explore various forms of essays, i.e. comparison, cause-effect and argumentative. Students will work with partners or in groups to improve their written work.
Final exam will be an oral presentation of research paper in outline format. At the end of the term, students should be able to produce good outlines and well-organized essays.
