【Course Objectives】

The skill of reading academic papers is essential for anyone aiming to enter graduate school or become a researcher.
The goal of the Seminar on English Reading in Psychology (Level 2) is to learn effective methods for reading papers, understanding their main points, and developing critical thinking skills.
During class, students of all levels will focus on improving their academic reading skills. Students will read academic papers from various fields in psychology and gain experience with recognizing common academic expressions and terminology. By the end of the course, students have developed their academic reading abilities and be familiar with a variety of article types.

【Course Contents】

The second level English Reading in Psychology is aimed at students who have already taken the first level class, those who can read literature by themselves (to some degree), and those who are motivated to improve their skills. During class, students will learn the meaning and functions of each of the sections of academic papers and work to better understand how to efficiently and effectively review academic papers. During discussions, they will talk about their overall assessment of articles or focus on specific aspects and gain experience with engaging in academic discussions of research. Students will review academic papers in English every week and discuss their contents in small groups. In total, students will read 4-5 academic papers of around 10-15 pages in one semester. Additionally, students will learn how to critically evaluate research, new methods of Open Science, and how to make targeted literature reviews.
