Abstract
In major related writing, the independent characteristic of a specific department becomes viable through practical writing. The majority of practical writing possesses the purpose it is required for advancing into society and the distinct characteristic of a major. Conventionally, arts major related writing had its limitation as it focused primarily on the enhancement of creativity based on its curricular objective or on art observation. Observing and appreciating already existing work of art is meaningful in its own aspect considering that it can be linked to creativity, but it also gave way to the problem that it diluted the quintessence of a writing lecture which was clearly the course objective. Thus, there was an attempt to seek a lecture aimed at integrating a writing class with an art major class focused on persuasive writing and speaking. This measure was designed to emphasize that cultivating basic writing skills is the very core of the curricular objective of writing in all academic departments. Based on this, we have attempted to help our students perceive the concept of persuasive writing, speaking and acquaint them the importance of persuading the marketability of design to the reader and by doing so seeking a correlation with their majors. With regards to practical writing, two lectures have been carried out: persuasive writing and speaking. In the first lecture we had our students do rhetorical writing as a part of the basic form of persuasion. In the second lecture, we carried out practical drills through design presentation as a part of learning about persuasive speaking. The more feedback the students received the more they understood the structure of rhetorical writing as well as presented logical evidence to their statement thereby trying to convey a clear message. Similarly in presentations, the best they managed in the beginning was to explain their design and emphasize the virtue of their works, whereas after a number of feedbacks, they began to realize the persuasiveness required for a design concept and to emphasize the originality and ingenuity to create a market value of their works. As a conclusion they began to understand through individual presentations that the purpose of launching a design was itself a process of persuasion, and to do so they needed grounds to convince others of the advantages of their design. This process has paved way to their enlightenment.
Key Words: Major related writing, practical writing, persuasive writing, persuasive speaking, design writing, arts major related writing
