Advanced Comprehensive English Writing

Advanced Comprehensive English Writing is a course in English language skills, being aimed at undergraduate, graduate and PhD candidates not majoring in English. It includes fundamental level skills: word choice, sentence writing and paragraph writing, and more advanced skills: the four types of essay writing (narration, description, exposition and argumentation) and practical writing. This course presents topics on academic writing and presenting at international conference, helping students learn those skills needed for academic paper writing by providing many detailed and systematic explanations which also prepare students for making presentations at international conferences. All our teachers have years of teaching experience in writing. Our lectures are designed using task-based teaching, aiming to solve the most common writing problems. All our lecture scripts have been revised several times according to the suggestions of Prof. Jean Alvares, one of our lecturers. Fourteen quizzes are provided to consolidate what the students have learned in the videos.
