授業内容と
その進め方
/Course outline and weekly schedule
The first half hour of the class will be spent doing extensive reading, where you will be reading a lot of books in easy English.

Also done every week are vocabulary quizzes and 5-minute quick writes.

You will work with the textbook the rest of the class time. You will again spend much time reading, as the ability to write is dependent on the knowledge garnered from reading. In each class you will practice writing procedures in the first half of the semester and two-sided arguments in the second half.

学生へのメッセージ
/Message for students
・Be a voracious reader so as to be a good writer.  It is pretty much like the bank – you have to have deposited a lot if you want to withdraw a lot!
・What does not kill you makes you stronger.  -- This is true.
