This course aims to equip graduate students with knowledge and skills necessary for writing English essays. To this end, this course starts with essential components that lay the foundation for developing paragraphs, then moves towards the smooth transition from paragraphs to essays, and culminates in developing essays of five types. In addition to paragraph and essay development, the course pays especial attention to grammatical functions. In-class writing exercises, post-class writing and reading tasks, and take-home assignments, along with lectures and discussions, will be given to students to strengthen their understanding of the course content. Classroom activity is designed to facilitate both individual and collaborative learning of students. |

3. Students should complete writing assignments that are carefully scheduled as stages towards the fulfillment of the course aim.
