This course is designed to improve students’ organization and coherence in longer pieces of writing. Specifically, students learn to recognize and employ in their own writing patterns of organization such as comparison/contrast and cause/effect; appropriate academic argumentation; conciseness; and other features that contribute to a smooth flow of ideas in formal academic writing. In class work includes individuals and small group exercises and shorter pieces of writing. A longer paper (6-8 pages) revised through several drafts is the major out-of-class assignment; shorter pieces are also done as homework.

This course is designed for and restricted to international graduate students who are not native speakers of English and who are being considered for teaching assistantships at the University. The purpose of this course is to improve the students' command of English for teaching purposes and to broaden their range of communication strategies in the classroom, lab, and affine hour. We will discuss how teaching contexts differ and, as a consequence, what language and teaching behaviors are appropriate for each. Students will engage in tasks to expand their repertoire communication skills through videotaped micro-teaching sessions, role-plays, and discussions.
