ELI 102 - Academic Writing

Institution:

Chatham University

Subject:

Description:

Most international students have had no previous interaction in writing academic English and are not aware that the rhetorical patterns of English are different from those used by their native languages. Thus, the primary focus of this course is on the American English rhetoric necessary for presenting written arguments in a logical, coherent manner. Students write short papers (for their academic classes, if possible), demonstrating their mastery of the forms. The second focus is on the form and mechanics of writing a research paper. Using library facilities, students learn the various types of materials and ways of researching a topic.
