The course places you in an international and multilingual group of learners and provides opportunities to explore how individual personality is cultivated in relationship to larger communities through various communicative acts. Practicing specific linguistic and rhetorical conventions, while also reviewing advanced grammar and prose mechanics, will help you achieve the balance of language skills necessary to excel in the varied discourse communities of the university. In this course, you will discuss and analyze complex texts of different genres and topics, explore multiple intellectual perspectives, and gain critical insights into people from different national, cultural, social, and linguistic backgrounds.
