課程概述

Fundamentals of English Writing serves as an introductory course to academic English writing. In this course, we will cover a wide range of basic English writing skills that are essential to building up your confidence as a writer. Special attention will be focused on how to apply the topics covered in class to the students’ own writing. Students will have ample opportunities to practice writing and discuss their writing assignments with their peers, the TA, and the teacher.
