ENGLISH COURSES

I’m taking two courses this summer semester, and I benefit a lot!

Two short introductions of these two courses are following.

 

EAP 507

In EAP 507 specifically, students will learn linguistic and rhetorical principles that will help them identify, analyze, and produce the discipline-specific patterns of academic and professional communication. The goal is for students to be able to identify linguistic structures and rhetorical features common in their discourse communities and for students to gain confidence and strategies for contributing to the scholarship of their fields.

PROV 502

PROV 502 is the second of a two-part transitional course designed for international students whose highest degree is from a non-US institution.  In order to register for the course, students must 1. Be admitted to a graduate program, 2. Have completed an undergraduate or graduate degree outside the United States, and 3. Completed PROV 501. PROV 501 and PROV 502 will count for two credits each toward academic degree requirements at the graduate level.  PROV 501 and 502 are designed to complement and run concurrently with PROV 506 and 507, Graduate Communication Across the Disciplines.
