RHET 114 - Academic Vocabulary Workshop

Unit(s): 2

This workshop is designed for multilingual students for whom English is not the primary language. Its purpose is to provide a variety of strategies to assist fully-admitted multilingual students in improving the grammatical accuracy of their written work. Among these strategies is developing the metalinguistic awareness to talk about writing revisions and learning to use specific revising tools to address common and not so common grammatical error types that impede successful written communication. Students will be encouraged to bring their own writing assignments to class to edit and revise for grammatical concerns. Group discussions will focus on grammatical topics such as coherence, cohesion, sentence boundaries, and sentence complexity. Additional topics will also be addressed as they emerge from analysis of student writing.
