Professional English for Non-Native Speakers: Writing in English

COURSE DESCRIPTION: 

This online writing course is geared toward advanced non-native speakers of English who have significant experience with the language. It will focus on helping participants understand and practice the types of writing needed for most professions, from more formal texts such as proposals and project reports to more informal but still essential communications such as letters and emails. Emphasis will be placed on vocabulary choice, sentence structure, and paragraph organization. Coursework will include collaborative vocabulary exercises, sentence-level problem sets, short- and long-passage editing, as well as longer-document homework assignments chosen by the student. Participants will receive instructor and peer feedback throughout the course.
