Content This is the first of three required courses in the module Introduction to Academic Communication in English (ACE). In Academic Writing in English 1 (AWE1), students will learn the key structural components of expository writing - thesis statements, paragraphing, transitions and developing an argument. The course is conducted with input from the instructor and workshop activities in class involving individual, pair and group work. Instruction is also driven by feedback from written assignments. In this term, the course content will be linked to a selection of short stories by Anglophone writers from all around the world. Assessment of the course is by four written exercises assigned regularly throughout the course. Students must satisfy the requirements of this course before they may pass into AWE2.
