Deskripsi Mata Kuliah
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, workshop, discussion, question-answer, and reflective thinking activity.
