Language and Community emphasizes critical reading, writing, and thinking. This course is designed to engage students in substantial intellectual abstraction and discourse. Working in a small group setting, students take responsibility for exploring ideas and refining their critical reading, writing, and thinking skills. Using the general topic 'Language and the Community,' students consider the ways in which language both reflects and shapes life and thought within perceived communities. Individual course sections may adopt titles that reflect the specific communities emphasized and materials used in exploring the general topic of 'Language and Community.' Students will compile a portfolio of their written work in the course for final assessment.
