• ENG 553: LITERACY STUDIES

  3.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  This course provides graduate students with an introduction to the field of Literacy Studies, including its scientific and theoretical foundations, historical and current perspectives on literacy practices, research methods and curricular implications. Literacy has culturally specific, social, economic and political implications for all people, and yet the general public's understanding of literacy is often marred by myths or overly simplified perspectives on the acquisition and uses of reading and writing, as well as less text-centric means of interpreting and composing. This course is aimed at deepening and complicating students' understanding of literacies, as they learn to investigate personal and communal assumptions, conduct primary and secondary research, and consider the consequences of the Literacy Studies for learning, teaching and critically navigating politics and culture. This course is especially useful for the intending to teach on the secondary and post-secondary levels, as rhetoric of a 'literacy crisis' has been a staple of education reforms in the United States since 1960s. The course is also appropriate for those with an interest in Composition & Rhetoric, Literature, Media Studies or Linguistics. This is an elective course for all English MA students.

• ENG 557: DIGITAL RHETORIC & COMPOSITION

  3.00 Credits

  This course focuses on honing the analysis, production, and teaching of contemporary digital texts by going beyond longstanding academic conceptions rooted in the printed word alone. Specifically, the course examines why contemporary digital texts do not dovetail with previous Rhetorical and Composition frameworks and why emerging areas within Rhetoric and Composition such as visual rhetoric, digital writing, and multimodal style are vital in cultivating sophisticated, responsive methods of analysis and production. Students will familiarize themselves with issues surrounding creation, revision, and deployment of digital texts to better understand the complex rhetorics involved when arranging words, images, sounds, coding language, available designs, fonts, colors, and spaces to make new kinds of 21st century writing.

• ENG 560: CRITICAL WRITING

  3.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  This course invites graduate students to examine writing as an essential tool for exploring, questioning, and creating intellectual knowledge in academic and public spaces. Students will develop a conceptual framework for critical writing through the study of rhetorical theory, genre theory and composition theory. Central to the course are writing workshops in which students share drafts of course assignments. In these workshops, students develop and understanding of themselves as writers, while exploring a variety of styles and rhetorical approaches for communicating with specific audiences both within and beyond the graduate classroom. As students explore the new genres and increased expectations that come with advanced scholarly writing, they will practice: choosing a point of inquiry; gathering research; developing a position; choosing style and voice; using readers' feedback effectively; and editing and revising as a recursive process.
