WRRH 106 Multilingual Writers Seminar II This intermediate English as a Second Language course provides students with the opportunity to build upon the English literacy and communication skills they acquired in WRRH 105. Through an emphasis on more advanced grammatical skills and academic communication skills, such as analysis, synthesis, primary research, and critical thinking, students will become increasingly familiar with using the English Language for effective communication in academia. Students will improve their English through weekly writing responses to readings, essays written in multiple genres, a presentation on a topic of the student's interest, and acting as a discussion leader in class once per semester to improve verbal communication skills. The time and theme of the course may vary with the instructor and semester. (Spring, offered annually)

the students faced no educational problems, they felt fully engaged in learning process. However, four respondents answered that they had had certain technical problems, which were solved after they updated the Skype version and fastened their Internet speed. Only one respondent though being satisfied with the course did not want to recommend the course to his friends because in general he tended towards the traditional off-line format of learning.
Higher education has a language all its own, with words like "matriculation" to mean "enrollment" and "cum laude" to mean "with honors". While such language can be an enjoyable link to medieval tradition, it can also become a barrier that can make some feel they don't belong. There is a reason Willamette does not use the traditional term "bursar," preferring the more descriptive name "student accounts."
"Liberal arts" itself has become an increasingly challenging term. Those of us in higher education like to think the phrase is well understood: the liberal arts are distinguished from the mechanical arts and are the disciplines or practices intended to prepare people to be active and engaged members of society. Today, the liberal arts encompass the humanities, natural and social sciences, mathematics, and the creative arts.
But beyond the political confusion over the word "liberal," today many people (including colleagues in large universities) have come to see "liberal arts" as defined in opposition to the buzzword "STEM" (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). Many prospective students and families don't understand that liberal arts colleges provide outstanding education in science, outperforming research universities in graduating students who will go on to get STEM doctorates.
So, after considerable discussion and in the interest of clarity, the Willamette University's Board of Trustees voted to rename the College of Liberal Arts the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) at their meeting last October. We have been starting to use "CAS" in various conversations, but the official effective date will be by the start of the 2020-21 academic year after web and printed materials have been updated.
This name change is just that - a name change. Willamette's commitment to liberal education and the liberal arts remains unchanged and unwavering. This name change better reflects the breadth of our curricular offerings and aligns our terminology with both modern practice and common understanding.
