The course is designed to improve students' English writing ability to an academic level. Students will review concepts of a paragraph and an essay and be guided to write an English research paper. Specifically, students will 1. review the structure of a paragraph and an essay and learn to use appropriate information to support their arguments; 2. learn to locate information and evaluate the sources; 3. explore issues related to academic honesty such as plagiarism, paraphrasing, and citation; 4. complete a short research paper with support and guidance; and 5. orally present their own research.
