ARW 13th. Dec - The Inportance Of Checking Tools

 Yesterday's ARW was very helpful for me. We learned an effective writing style and some checking tools. Especially, I think that to know checking tools is important. After the class, I tried using those tools by my essay in Autumn term. I checked vocabrary level, word's frequency, reading level, and grammer. The results of them were almost so-so, but reading level is not enough for undergraduate level. In winter term, I will improve my writing technic by using them.

 Why is knowing checking tools important? There are two reasons. First, in writing essay, ELA program doesn't have enough supporting system. ARW teachers don't have sufficient time to check essay in detail for all of students. Of cource, student's peer review is not completely effective. Therefore, it is necessary for each student to check and improve essay by themselves. Second reason is the language problem. When we read Japanese writing, we can understand the level of writing because we have read Japanese writing for over 10 years. However, in English, we cannot do that. In short, evaluation needs experiences. Using those tools, without experience, we can evaluate our writing. Therefore, to know the existance of those checking tools is significant for me. They are like teachers in Internet.

 CONVENIENCE!
