【講義概要】
This course is intended to help students develop their writing skills in English. Good writing is not a matter of just writing grammatically correct sentences. It also includes choosing appropriate vocabulary and adopting a style that is appropriate for the task and for the intended reader. In this first year course we will concentrate on writing clear and effective sentences, combining short sentences to make longer ones, and organizing sentences into paragraphs. We will do various writing exercises aimed at developing these different kinds of writing skills. We will also practice writing various kinds of texts: notes, instructions, directions, opinion essays, reports and so on.
This course is taught entirely in English.
