Around 200 students participated in the workshop. This workshop is intended to introduce students to the argumentative writing by familiarizing them with basic terms and necessary elements of an argumentative essay; allowing students to practice writing the refutation paragraph. During the workshop, they were active in class discussions about forming arguments. As students were encouraged to challenge the premises of others, they gained knowledge and discovered new contexts for their ideas. The process helped sharpen their critical thinking skills. After the workshop, students were able to demonstrate the ability to generate evidence-based arguments and refutation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_226\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-226\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-226\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/146104_IMG-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/146104_IMG-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/146104_IMG-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/146104_IMG-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/146104_IMG-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/146104_IMG-552x368.jpg 552w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-226\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students sharing ideas about effective argumentation in the lecture.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_227\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-227\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-227\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/146135_IMG-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/146135_IMG-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/146135_IMG-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/146135_IMG-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/146135_IMG-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/146135_IMG-552x368.jpg 552w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-227\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students learning how to write a refutation in small groups.<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"post-excerpt\">English lecturers of...<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":225,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7,8],"tags":[],"cs":[4,2],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=224"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":230,"href":"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224\/revisions\/230"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=224"},{"taxonomy":"cs","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/al\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cs?post=224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
