WHAT IS A PAMPHLET?
*A pamphlet is an unbound booklet (that is, without a hard cover or binding). It may consist of a single sheet of paper that is printed on both sides and folded in half, in thirds, or in fourths (called a leaflet), or it may consist of a few pages that are folded in half and stapled at the crease to make a simple book.
Pamphlets can contain anything from information on kitchen appliances to medical information and religious treatises. Pamphlets are very important in marketing as they are cheap to produce and can be distributed easily to customers. Pamphlets have also long been an important tool of political protest and political campaigning for similar reasons.
WHILE CREATING YOUR PAMPHLET, PAY ATTENTION TO THESE ELEMENTS:
*Make your decision about your topic, and your intended audience (to whom you will address in your pamphlet: young adults, students at a collage or in a university, common citizens, housewives or some people who have some diseases).
*Pay attention to your topic because it should be related with the theme of mind-body connection (You should benefit from the articles in your course book).
*Choose the right format for your pamphlet.
*Enter a suitable and effective title into your pamphlet.
*Insert some pictures related with your topic.
*Add some graphics if it is necessary.
*Describe the problem that you are talking about, give some detailed information about the problem, and then give your advices about that problem. Don’t forget that the reader will learn something about this problem and you are giving advices like a professional (You should make some research in order to give consistent and reasonable information about the problem that you are talking about.).
*In the end, list your sources.
*Give an address, telephone number or an internet address for more detailed information about the problem.
NOTE: When you have created your pamphlet please have a colorful print. In addition, while creating your pamphlet you can benefit from these programs and sites:
-Microsoft Word- Brochure maker
-Microsoft Word- Publisher
-www.mybrochuremaker.com

Spring Semester
ENG 102 SYLLABUS
Course Code: ENG 102
Course Name: Advanced English II
Description:
This course is designed to help freshmen better cope with the English-language coursework in their major fields of study by concentrating on Reading, Critical Thinking, Vocabulary Development, Writing, Making an Oral Presentation and Using Internet Resources. The content is drawn from topics within the common-core knowledge classification schemes adopted by American, Australian, British, Canadian, and European universities. The course combines elements of both the Strategies Approach and the Task-Based Approach to language learning. The students are being trained to incorporate materials from several textual sources and to use academic text critically. (English Language and Literature and American Culture and Literature Department students cannot take this course for credit.)
Course Objectives:
This course will reinforce and expand the students' English competence and performance through textual and structural analysis, i.e., through learning how meaning is communicated by the organization of a text and learning how English syntax contributes to meaning. Coursework involves reading and analyzing various upper-intermediate and advanced level texts as well as listening activities relevant to the chosen topics. Students will also work on paraphrasing, restatement, and vocabulary development exercises, complete short, internet-based, writing assignments, and make a short presentation.
