授業概要 / Class Description Students will gain an understanding of how English academic texts relating to fashion are constructed. They will learn how to read these texts to assess the strength of arguments, sources and methodology, and they will gain an understanding of academic writing style and flow.
Throughout the course, students will develop a clear understanding of what elements are essential to English academic writing. They will apply these elements into their own academic texts while engaging in a process of writing, editing and rewriting to develop their academic research skills.
到達目標 / Goal Students will learn to read and deconstruct academic texts, and will gain the requisite skills to write academic texts of their own with clear, concise, and valid arguments.
