授業の概要

This is an advanced course in scholarly writing, a kind of academic writing that appears in scholarly publications and in academic treatises, such as a thesis or dissertation. By first reading published articles and carefully examining them not for their content but for their structure and organization, students will learn to distinguish well written texts from poorly structured writing. Then, through a series of writing exercises, students will produce successive drafts of increasing completeness. They will also analyze the writing of other students and learn to recognize where revisions would improve the effectiveness of written work.

科目目的

The purpose of this course is to give students guidance in expanding and refining their English writing skills. In particular, this course should prepare students for the task of writing a Master’s thesis in English. They will learn how to plan, write, and revise a substantial, large-scale writing project worthy of publication. Special emphasis will be placed on the structure and organization of a thesis that present research on linguistics or other related fields in the language sciences

到達目標

Students learn how to follow all of the standard rules for preparing a manuscript for scholarly publication and thesis submission. This includes reference to several standard style sheets and how to use widely available software options for producing manuscripts that are camera-ready for publication. By the end of the course, they will have developed an explicit understanding of the steps necessary for preparing a complete research manuscript, ready for submission to a journal, conference proceedings, or as a dissertation. Students will learn to offer constructive criticism on the writings of others and how to both accept criticism on their own writing and incorporate it into their work.
