V. Course Description
The course aims to expose students to different facets of academic English as they have to apply new conventions of style, referencing and
formatting in formal writing. Students are guided through the writing process to produce well-organized, adequately developed paragraphs, essays,
business letters, reports, curriculum vitae, abstracts and conference papers. It also discusses issues around vocabulary, plagiarism, and APA referencing
skills with inclusion on reference charts of editing symbols, connecting words, transition signals, and other writing aids.
