WRT 104 - Esol Reading & Writing Ii

Institution:

University of Rochester

Subject:

Description:

This course builds upon the lessons of ESOL Reading & Writing I to improve undergraduate, non-native speakers' of English written communication skills in academic settings. The primary focus of this class will be on writing, wherein students will improve their knowledge, ability, and comfort in the use of formal, disciplinary styles of English composition. In addition, students will be introduced to summary, paraphrase, quotation, plagiarism, and the proper integration of their ideas with other texts. Since critical reading and writing go hand-in-hand, class lessons will center upon the critical analysis of numerous selected essays and readings. Through these readings, students will be exposed to common linguistic structures and writing techniques, which they will then apply to their own writing. Students should possess a high-intermediate to advanced level of English reading and writing and are required to obtain permission of the ESOL Program before being placed in this course.
