The main aim of the course is to improve students' written English. We will be focusing primarily on expository writing (e.g. organising paragraphs, basic essay structure, and style), yet the oral dimension will also be taken into consideration, as we will devote a considerable part of class time to discussing and evaluating both student and professional writing. A further principle within this framework will be the encouragement of students' self-evaluation and peer correction. As is the case with all language practice courses of this module, grammar and lexis will be reviewed and practised where necessary.
