Academic English: Writing and Reading

1. Synopsis

   
   This course helps students improve their written English for tertiary-level academic study purposes through an integrated approach. While writing and reading skills are addressed, writing is the focus of this course. There are reading(s)-into-writing tasks in which reading is used as springboard for writing by providing topical and vocabulary input. Students will take part in integrated activities (e.g. reading, listening, speaking, vocabulary, etc.) before they synthesize information, paraphrase others’ ideas, evaluate arguments, and critique in writing.

2. Course Intended Learning Outcomes (CILOs)  
   
   Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:
    

CILO1	Demonstrate the ability to integrate academic sources and express a balanced view on issues/topics in writing.
