English Reading/Writing for International Relations is designed to develop students' reading and writing skills in preparation for academic coursework at SAIS and professional environments. We will analyze and discuss a variety of texts, both academic and from periodicals, such as The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, The Economist, The New York Times, etc. Through active participation in classroom discussions, group activities, readings, and revision of written assignments, students will improve their reading skills and ability to express their ideas in writing in a variety of genres used in international relations. Although much coursework will focus on in-class activities, students will be expected to complete grammar, vocabulary and reading tasks related to the texts and write and revise papers for this class.. There is usually required textbook for this course and we also work with papers written for other SAIS courses.
