Course Description
The English writing course (levels 1-3) is offered to help you with your English writing. The course materials are arranged in such a way as to help you to gradually develop/expand your English wiring skills.
At the end of the semester, you will be required to turn in a portfolio of all your journal entries (at least eight). Failure to meet any of the course requirements will negatively affect your final grade for the course.
If you demonstrate a consistent lack of preparation and class participation, your “class performance” grade will be negatively affected.
2. Written work required for the course will include summary writing, and paragraph/ short essay writing, as well as a final exam. Besides, you are required to keep a journal throughout the course, which is also a good way for you to practice writing and measure your progress in English writing.
The other two types of writing – exposition and argumentation will be introduced in Intermediate Writing: while Book One is mainly about exposition, Book Two treats of argumentation.
