課程概述

This is an introductory college writing course that aims to equip students with understanding of and skills for English academic writing in preparation of more advanced writing courses. Topics to be covered are identifying sentence types; achieving parallelism, unity, coherence, and cohesion; using the dictionary and building vocabulary; befriending Grammarly; peer-reviewing; and respecting ethics in academic writing. The course will also help improve students’ sentential structures and idea development so that they will be able to self-evaluate their writing. 

課程目標

1) independent judgment and ability to innovate
2) professional knowledge and skills
3) communicative and team skills

By the end of this course, students should be able to
1) understand the nature and standard of academic writing.
2) learn the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary for English writing.
3) gain a vocabulary of elements with which to analyze and write a paragraph.
4) communicate and collaborate with peers to improve and polish their work. 
課程要求
**英文程度為(或不及)CEFR B1, TOEIC 590, TOEFL iBT 59, IELTS 5.0**
(Required English language proficiency: CEFR B1, TOEIC 590, TOEFL iBT 59, IELTS 5.0 or BELOW)

Pre-class reading allows students to reflect on their own writing and acknowledge the gap to be filled. This gap-filling task will be taken up partly through peer collaboration and in-class tasks.
