ESL Graduate Writing Course

The course will continue to focus on the writing skills needed in graduate school. Instruction will address students' needs: grammar at the sentence level and organization and style at the paragraph and essay level. Students will have individualized grammar assignments and in-class writing, as well as writing for homework. Assignments will be such that students may use writing assignments from other academic courses or a topic provided. In addition to classroom practice, students will have out-of-class assignments for individualized writing practice and academic assignments. Some time will be given to each of the following: citing of sources, paraphrasing/summarizing, short-answer essay questions, lab reports, and longer research papers.
