English Composition (II) is a year-long course that focuses on writing full-length essays. To set the foundation for academic writing, four important skills – summarizing, evaluating, synthesizing, and arguing – will be closely examined, discussed, and put into practice in the first semester. The course will be delivered in a range of formats, including lectures, workshops, and supervisions, all of which involve active participation and critical engagement with your own writing, your peers, and your instructor. Additionally, the course will also provide opportunities for you to explore the role of these skills in different types of writing professions.

** The course will be conducted primarily in English.
