integrated approach to the four skills using materials related to international
relations with particular focus on language output skills in a multicultural context.
They will learn academic writing skills with APA style and write literature reviews,
research proposals, reports and papers. Formative evaluation is performed through
in-class writings and two or more of the above documents, based on a rubric that
targets writing skills.

The main effort this semester is to prepare a well-written academic paragraph.

授業外学習の指示

If students are keen to practise the art of writing, they should consider keeping an English diary. Each day, they should identify a single topic of interest. Drawing on the topic, they should write a topic sentence (containing a topic and controlling idea), and, over the course of a single day, write two or three sentences that reflect the controlling idea. Constant practice will lead to recognition of the simplicity of writing a paragraph when one focuses on a topic and a controlling idea. The controlling idea will be explained in the first unit.
Once the topic and controlling idea are mastered, the idea of a paragraph is very simple. A paragraph is a short, written piece about a single idea, limited by the controlling idea, and focused on a single topic.

備考

PLAGIARISM is a serious form of academic dishonesty. If it's not your idea, you must always tell us whose idea it is. Use citations in the body of your text and a bibliography or reference list at the end of your written work. If necessary, this will be explained in class.
Plagiarism, when identified, may lead to serious consequences, including failure.
