講義概要/Course description
|
This course will focus on writing news articles in English.
It will be strongly connected to journalism, but the process of gathering factual information, analyze them, comprehend, and write about them is fundamentally the same as academism. So the course will be helpful in upgrading skills in writing social science essays in English too.
