Course Reading For Research

Course Description

This course is designed to help students demonstrate the ways critical reading and critical writing function together in the process of the research. It aims to develop and hone the skills of the critical reader: identifying and interpreting different genres; contextualizing primary texts within their contexts (cultural, historical, social, political); and analyzing primary texts through a wide range of secondary sources - contextual, critical and theoretical. The topics in this course main focus on EFL current issues. Along the course, students are involved in various activities designed to help them practice and improve their research skills and produce an annotated bibliography independently based on their proposed topic. All teaching-learning activities are conducted through lecturing, workshops, discussions, question-answers, and reflective thinking activities.

Program Objectives (PO)

Students are able to evaluate and justify the relevance of selected academic sources through oral and written communication that meets CEFR B2 standards, as part of developing a clear research focus and argumentation.

Students are able to formulate a research idea or focus by analyzing and selecting credible and current academic sources on EFL-related issues, leading to the development of a research gap and contribution (research fill).
Students are able to critically analyze and synthesize academic texts across various genres and theoretical frameworks, and apply them to produce an annotated bibliography that supports their own research writing.
