| Description: Language and culture are inextricably linked. Learning a language also means learning a new culture. Academia has a culture all its own, in addition to that of the country and language of a particular institution. This course will explore the values and practices of college education in the United States. Through readings and class discussion, students will develop a framework for understanding the implicit cultural expectations in writing assignments, class discussion, and other aspects of academic life. |
