課程概述

課程旨在訓練同學基本段落寫作組織與表達之能力，要求同學以循序漸進方式培養未來進階寫作紮實之基礎。上課內容以學習寫作技巧與加強文法觀念雙管齊下：一方面以建立正確寫作態度出發，使同學認識寫作之要素及應有步驟，了解寫作評量標準，進而學習發展、組織段落之方法與技巧；另一方面透過文法解說與練習強化文法之掌握，摒除常見文法毛病，並提昇句型變化與句組整合之能力。同學必須積極參與課堂練習及討論，確實進行各項習作。

This section of Freshman Composition is a one-year course. In the first semester, we focus on sentence practice for grammar practice and paragraph writing for organization, cohesion and coherence. In the second semester, we gradually move on to 300 word composition.

 

課程目標
 This course is designed as an interactive workshop to help students develop English writing skills. At the end of this course, students should:
1. have received practice in writing paragraphs and short essays.
2. be able to review, edit and correct their own and others’ work for both content and language.
3. be able to write accurately and appropriately on a restricted range of topics and short tasks.
4. have improved the grammatical accuracy of their writing.
 
課程要求
 This course is designed as an interactive workshop. All students are expected to participate ACTIVELY in the learning process. Class time will be divided into several segments for different activities: lectures, group exercise (including grammar practice, sentence writing, editing, reviewing and reading discussion, etc.) and in-class writing. We will start from sentence practice and introduce basic concepts of English writing. Short stories will be used as teaching materials. Students are expected to preview the materials before each class. In addition to regular writing assignments, students will have to keep journal writing at least once a week. We will write SIX paragraphs in total in this semester. Finally, students are required to make a short group oral presentation on _the Elements of Style_.
