FLE 136 (04) ADVANCED READING & WRITING II

Dr. Hatice Karaaslan

 

Course Description

This course aims to help students develop the core transferable skills in critical thinking, reading, and writing. By processing a variety of authentic texts, students will further their reading skills by analyzing, synthesizing, evaluating and reacting to the information in the texts, relating it to real life, and gaining insights into cross-cultural features. They will also practice essay writing with reference to the rhetorical and stylistic characteristics of specific types: expository and reaction-response essays, which will be accompanied by an analysis of research and documentation techniques including library/internet search, rules of citation, referencing, quoting, paraphrasing and summarizing information.

W. Timothy Gallwey 

“When we plant a rose seed in the earth,

we notice that it is small,

but we do not criticize it as "rootless and stemless."

We treat it as a seed,

giving it the water and nourishment required of a seed.

When it first shoots up out of the earth,

we don't condemn it as immature and underdeveloped;

nor do we criticize the buds for not being open when they appear.

We stand in wonder at the process taking place and

give the plant the care it needs at each stage of its development.

The rose is a rose

from the time it is a seed to the time it dies.

Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential.

It seems to be constantly in the process of change;

yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is.”
