课程简介
This Basic English II – Writing course will teach students how to compose formal, semi-academic English essays to answer a range of prompts. The course is aimed at students who are able to write everyday sentences in English and simple essay forms, but may struggle to produce accurate, coherent, formal essays in other contexts. Students will be instructed on how to write a range of essays including argumentative essays, compare and contrast essays and problem-solution essays. Students will be guided throughout the semester on how to produce well structured, logically coherent, and properly organised formal essays through student-centred in-class activities and feedback on homework done outside of class. Students will be assessed every week on the completion of the tasks from their homework workbook, and twice per semester, by submitting an argumentative essay for midterm (week eight) and a final essay (either compare and contrast or problem and solution) at the end of the course (week sixteen), in addition to being assessed on participation in class.
