This English academic writing course will focus on academic writing and, in particular, writing papers in English. Attention will be paid to writing conventions and processes, sentence and paragraph structure, and appropriate language use. By the end of this course, you should be able to be more flexible in creating a proper essay with the ability to recognize and work on proper structures.

During the course, you will apply writing principles to texts you produce yourself, and your classmates and instructor will provide feedback on these texts. You will also be expected to apply these writing principles to a 1200-word essay on a subject of your choice; the final version of this essay will be due at the end of the course.

The four requirements of this course for a participation certificate include at least 75% attendance, a benchmark essay, a draft version of the 1200-word paper, the individual conference meeting, and the final version of the 1200-word paper.

Duration: 7 weeks
Studyload and participant expectations: 6 x 2 contact hours; 4 hours of independent study per week; at least 4 peer review and teacher-review sessions, 1 15-minute individual conference with the teacher.
