| 授業概要 | What does it mean to ’write well’? If you are a good writer in Japanese， does it automatically make you a good writer in English? Is a good thinker always a good writer? Answering these questions is no easy task， but this course will try to offer you some possible answers to these questions as you learn some basic knowledge about essay writing in English. The focus is placed on paragraph writing first， and then you will learn to organize multiple paragraphs in one essay. |
| 授業計画 | All the classroom activities are related to writing real essays. In each class， you learn some new rules in writing English essays， and you try out the rules in the next assignment. You will be writing one essay every two weeks and submit it to me. You will begin from a short one-paragraph essay， and toward the end of the course， you will be writing longer ones. The final project will probably be a two-page essay on a substantial topic. |
| 評価方法 | Your final grade is given based on your attendance and participation (30%)， your written assignments (50%)， and your final project (20%). |

| メッセージ | Writing provides a rather pressure-free environment for foreign language learners. When you write， you don’t have to worry about your pronunciation， you can take your time and monitor your grammar， and you can read what you have written and rewrite again and again until you feel your ideas are well expressed. Through writing essays on various topics over this course， you will make the most of these privileges and find the pleasure of expressing yourself in English. |
