Description:

Writing 2 [Multilingual Learner] continues the work of Writing 1 [Multilingual Learner] by strengthening students' ability to write, read and engage in discussion in college-level English. Students practice literary and visual analysis, and they engage in research and analytic essay writing. Particular attention is paid to the needs of English Language Learners in the areas of grammar and vocabulary development.Course DescriptionMaps mark spaces of belonging and trespass. How have we learned to read their meanings? Seeing Across is about moving across boundaries real and imagined and both simultaneously. We will place ourselves on the map and we will map the places within ourselves, learning to read the geographies of self and selves. We will also locate ourselves within language, asking: How do we tell stories if we haven’t heard any like our own? How do we tell stories without using the languages we have received from others, languages that might never have imagined us? How do we listen to stories in languages not our own? How do we learn to hear the difference inside the language we think we know? How do we tell stories about (home) places marked by displacement, occupation, and colonization?
