İNG 002: Departmental English II is an academic-focused course which aims to develop students’ reading, listening, speaking and writing skills. For İNG 002 course, speaking skills are specifically focused on and these skills are integrated into the course hours and also supported by extra materials.
The Reading section consists of the study of reading texts, and students are asked to analyze these for main ideas and details; to understand the purpose of the texts with relation to coherence and cohesion; to realize abstract and concrete information; and to make inferences by using critical thinking abilities.
The Listening section consists of the study of listening passages both on academic lectures and short informative talks. Note-taking techniques will be introduced to help students understand information and use it to speak on a given piece. The same skills as in the Reading section will be studied.
The Speaking section focuses on the ability to prepare and present reports on a variety of subjects, to conduct group discussions by using appropriate techniques, and to speak and comment on the subjects studied by using critical thinking and speaking strategies.
The Writing section asks students to analyze the purpose, audience and type of writing required for a specific subject. Writing a proper summary of lectures and reading texts using specific techniques will be studied. Analyzing the register and style will be the focal point in this part.
