EAP 116 - K01: English & DiscSkillsMultiLing

Whereas EAP 110 is a composition course that integrates language instruction with composition instruction, EAP 116 is a language and academic skills class that focuses on developing strong English language, critical thinking, collaborative research planning-conducting-and writing, and studentship skills employed by successful students and professionals, in short the habits of mind used when writing about academic and problem-based topics in academic setting.

 

In addition to continued development of the language skills focused on in EAP 116, we will work on developing scientific and reasoning habits of mind as well as time and project management skills that are required by each academic discipline.

The class is based on investigating a problem from an academic stance. Potential solutions to the problems will be developed in teams and presented by those teams in project reports and posters.

 

In the process of creating these presentation materials, you will apply the analytical reading and academic writing skills you developed last semester and continue to develop this term. Additionally, you will further develop your research and note-taking skills and continue to develop vocabulary and studentship skills. The collaborative nature of the project will require you to use interpersonal communication and problem-solving skills as well as collaborative use of technology and resources
