The Integral Parts Of English Composition

by Whitney Goldbach

Mar 6, 2011 Writing 3833 Views

 The topic of English Composition generally refers to the essays and other types of written prose used in the English language. The subject is typically first taught to students in elementary school at an early stage, in order to properly prepare students for more advanced English courses in their scholastic futures. It will then continue to be taught as they move onto high school and college levels.

Freshman English Composition, also commonly known as ENC 1101, is really all about arguing...as strange as that sounds. Providing strong arguments in writing to prove a point and properly communicate that point, is pretty much the basis of good English Composition. Also, there is nothing better than coming out on the upside when you are able to prove your points through writing.

Logical argument is one matter that is part of ENC 1101. It focuses on reasoning and the correct way to prove your argument and points via your writing, and it is an imperative part of English composition. Forming strong points and then following them up with more valid points is necessary in order to provide clear essays and understanding of your writing.

There are two main types of arguments used in English Composition. The types include both deductive and inductive arguments. Both are not only great in the use of ENC1101, but they are a great skill to have for down the road post graduation. They are helpful also in the manner that they build a sort of character in the way of the writer's thought process.

Deductive arguments are those which use the outside evidence and facts to come to a conclusion about the argument being explained. The source used to form deductive reasoning is from outside sources. You would take a look at different things like facts that impact the situation you are discussing. Deductive reasoning relies on these outside sources in order to prove that point in your writing.

Inductive arguments are formed by the use of inductive reasoning. This means that you can readily form a valid conclusion based on the inference of things, rather than a solid fact that may have already happened. It's kind of like using an "if this, then that" sort of solution solving mindset. You are steadily basing points off of inferences and probability, which are also points of inductive arguments within English Composition.

The use of such proper reasoning while forming and proving the points of your argument is certainly a necessity when dealing with the learning process behind ENC1101. There is a certain bit of excitement in properly proving yourself to those reading the essays and such that you have prepared in English Composition.

The study of English Composition can be very interesting, especially if you are skilled at the process of arguing with words to prove a solid point. It is a useful skill set to have once you head into the workforce, as many employers will seek those with strong writing and communication skills. Certain areas such a lawyers in a courtroom, and other more argumentative fields would benefit from this area of English Composition. Anyone interested in this field of study can take a free introductory ENC1101 course through Test Drive College.
