This course is mainly for students whose first language is not American English and/or whose higher education experience in U.S. institutions is limited. The main foci of this course include basic formats and expectations, cultural and linguistic sensitivity, correct source usage to avoid plagiarism, documentation styles and application, global and local writing issues, common grammar issues and other relevant issues in academic communication in English. If time permits, writing an outline for a short oral presentation or an abstract of one’s paper/article may be incorporated.

The course is offered in 1st and 2nd terms, on Saturdays.  During each class meeting, a morning lecture will be followed by an application activity in the afternoon.

This is a non-credit Pass/Fail course but requires regular attendance and completion of assignments. All students must officially register in the course.
