| 科目の目的・到達目標 | The Critical Reading courses focus on the comprehension and critical interpretation of English texts, with special reference to materials in the Policy Sciences and Cultural Studies. Work in the courses will include activities designed to help students recognise key issues in the texts under discussion, and to identify and make critical judgements about an author’s conclusions, stated or unstated premises, and methods of persuasion. Particular attention will be given to analysis of the structures of English arguments as they are manifest in the course readings. |
| 授業の概要 | In this class students will read a variety of different texts covering a number of topics and develop analytical reading skills. Students will also be expected to participate in class discussions and complete writing assignments in order to learn how to build effective arguments which will be backed up with evidence and secondary source materials. |
