Interpreting Procedural Texts

The primary focus of this course is the interpretation of procedural expository texts (e.g. demonstrations, explanations of sequential actions/activities). The course presents an overview of the linguistic and sociolinguistic characteristics of procedural texts. Students will de-velop competency in interpreting such texts when they occur independently and when they are embedded in expository texts. The ultimate goal of the course is for students to develop the cognitive processes and decision-making skills needed to apply these differing strategies to achieve cross-cultural mediation.
