ACADEMIC ENGLISH Ⅲ

모든 학생들은 서구 문화와 사회에 관하여 정보를 얻기 위해 그들의 삶에서 영어 독해를 하거나 작문을 한다. 본 강좌에서 학생들은 담당교수에 의해 주어진 학습과제나 다양한 활동을 통하여 언어의 인지적 능력(독해)과 생산적 능력(작문)을 학습하고 향상시킬 수 있는 기회를 갖는다. 본 강좌의 목표는 독해 능력과 작문 능력을 종합적으로 향상시키는 것이다. 이러한 목표를 달성하기 위하여 여러 토픽을 통해 학생들의 어휘와 문법을 강화시키고 더 나아가서 학생들의 흥미와 적극적 참여를 유도할 수 있도록 한다. 교수자는 또한 본 강좌가 언어능력과 문화적 양상을 통합하는 활발한 학습의 장이 되도록 한다.
