The Research Project
The Research Project consists of three separate assignments
on a single topic and counts as 30% of
the total grade. In addition, there will be an interview where students will
report on their project. This will be conducted by the instructor at the end of
the semester and will bring the total to 40% of the course.
ASSIGNMENT 1
1A: Research Question Due Week 4
Each student will be given
a general topic from which he/she must develop a specific subject to be
researched. The Research Question/Central Issue should be field related,
within the interest area of the student and, above all, worthy of
investigation.
1B: Library Research In-class - Week 4
Once a good research question
has been defined, students will then have to find suitable material
on their
subject using on-line journals, databases, and books from the library. They
will then write
an "annotated"
bibliography of the sources chosen to support their argument.
ASSIGNMENT 2
Thesıs Proposal Due Week 10
At this stage, students
will state their point of view in the form of a valid logical argument (a
thesis statement with supporting arguments). This thesis proposal is the
answer to the research question.
ASSIGNMENT 3
Fınal Report Due
Week 13
In the final stage of the
project, students will summarize all the information they have gathered which
is relevant to their topic and, using carefully constructed arguments with
reliable facts and figures from credible sources, explain why the reader should
accept their thesis as a good answer to the Research Question.
INTERVIEW
Portfolıo/PowerPoint
presentatıon
Due Week 13
Upon the completion of the
semester-long research project, students will be interviewed by their
instructors after submitting their portfolios. In these interviews, students
will be expected to report on and present key elements of their project.
DEBATE
Students will take part in an in-class debate. In teams of 4–6, students will debate a chosen topic which they have researched as a group.
ENGL2101 and 2102 are consecutive content-based EAP courses
specifically designed for EMI sophomore students. They run across two
semesters, as 'Advanced Academic English I' and 'Advanced Academic English II'.
Specifically, the courses aim to develop and equip students with the skills and
techniques necessary to understand, analyse, discuss, and produce in-depth
writing on complex ideas, extended lectures, and a wide range of texts related
to the specific field of study, emphasizing critical thinking, reasoning, and
logical argumentation.

learning methods are applied in both courses.
The overall learning aim of the courses is to develop and
support students' essential academic skills and vocabulary in a field-specific
context at C1 CEFR level. Specifically, the courses aim to develop and equip
students with the skills and strategies necessary to understand, analyze, discuss,
and produce in-depth writing on complex ideas, extended lectures, and a wide
