Expression and Voice: Reading Listening and Speaking Skills II

Building on concepts explored in AT 002, this course provides students with opportunities to apply and extend their listening, speaking, and reading skills. An emphasis is placed on developing a cohesive understanding of specific reading sub-skills, the process of reading, and the role of the critical reader. Students develop an increased awareness of the relationship between main ideas and details, the inferential level of reading, and methods for analyzing purpose and tone; in addition, students develop specific strategies for understanding and evaluating a range of reading materials including college texts, newspapers, magazines and the Internet. Students explore a variety of public speaking techniques and are encouraged to develop their individual and group oral presentation skills. The study of a selected, culturally relevant novel complements the reading component of this course.
