ENG 104 EAP: English Composition

Designed for nonnative English-speaking students, the course explores English for academic purposes with particular attention to the complexity of contrasting argumentation styles found in comparative rhetoric. Students focus on micro and macro elements of academic writing aimed at a native-speaking audience. These elements will include but - are not limited to - syntax, semantics, organization, rhetoric and argumentation. To ensure that students know how to use their academic writing for research purposes, the course introduces related skills such as drafting articles/ literature reviews, research skills, paper organization, outlining, note-taking, summarizing, paraphrasing and citation. Normally taken concurrently with ENG 103. Students who complete ENG 104 must also complete ENG 106 in the following spring semester. Prerequisite: English Placement Examination.
