Course Overview & Goals

This course will provide the fundamentals of academic writing. The course is based on an overview of paragraph-to-essay writing. We will begin writing at the paragraph level which will help students master basic writing skills before moving on to longer academic essays. In the final weeks, this course will teach students citation skills to avoid plagiarism through a short research paper (4 pages). There will be interesting readings for discussion and grammar and writing-style tips with each lesson. After completing this course, students will have the necessary skills to write academic papers of high quality with good organization and style, correct grammar, and proper citations. During the last few classes, students will learn test writing for TOEFL and cover letter writing for internships or jobs they will apply for in the future. All lessons will be taught in English to help students enhance their listening and speaking skills. Korean can be used by students if needed.

* Note: Feedback on your papers will be given through live consultation and email. Please make sure to do the assignments on time and send them no later than 9 pm.

Recommended students

This course is designed for students who want to enhance their writing skills and want to gain confidence in academic writing. In this course, we will not write long research papers or design your thesis, but we will look at how to effectively support an argument in an essay. Students should also be ready to learn through pair or group assignments (ex: peer editing).
