ENG 2804 - Multilingual Writing and Rhetoric

In this advanced writing course for multilinguals, students apply threshold concepts of writing and rhetoric to the complex rhetorical situations they encounter as multilingual writers. Students of any home or first language are welcome in the course as long as they are competent writers in at least two languages. Students are invited to engage in academic writing and research from their multilingual perspectives as they compose for audiences of multiple language backgrounds and explore how concepts like “genre” and “discourse community” manifest in the writing they encounter in English and the other language contexts they experience. The course offers practice in effective library research, U.S. techniques of documentation (e.g. MLA, APA), and the sharing of research findings through multiple means (e.g. research paper, video, speech, social media).
