Semester 1

Personality Psychology I: Trait and Behaviorism

Basic Reading and Writing course is designed to introduce students to some basic reading strategies and minimum requirements needed in writing as foundations of reading and writing activities. The students are to read texts related to humanism, humanistic education, self-reflection and empowerment, and success stories to improve their reading comprehension, critical thinking, reflective thinking, and vocabulary mastery in expository, descriptive, and recount texts. Through various reading activities, the students are exposed to written English employing the minimum requirement rules (e.g. agreement, grammar, tenses, spelling, and diction) and the aforementioned text types. The exposure, input, and provided feedback will facilitate them to write correct sentences in compositions and to produce their own responses, recounts, and descriptions. The overall design of the learning process refers to the cognitive levels of Bloom and SOLO taxonomy. At the end of the course, the students are expected to become effective and critical readers. As for the writing products, they are assigned to submit portfolios covering all students’ compositions and reflections on their learning.
