Writing Workshop 2022
For those thinking about applying to grad school, how about boosting your writing skills over winter break?
Universities have increasingly been asking to see better proof of academic English writing from international students. The best way to improve this skill is to immerse yourself in academic writing through extensive reading, and then practice, practice, practice writing.
Academic English is more formal than everyday English. Another distinction is the increased expectation to think critically and explain your logic. The emphasis is not on narrating what you have learned, but on drawing connections between ideas and applying logic to reach conclusions.
To help you develop this critical skillset, we are offering an academic writing workshop this winter.
Week 1: Understanding essay and writing requirements
Week 2: Essay components and structures
Week 2: Developing thesis statement 1
Week 3: Developing thesis statement 2
Week 4: Essay outlining
Week 5: Developing essay contents
Week 6: Structural coherence and transitions
Week 7: Reviewing common mistakes through essay samples
It will be an 8 week course. Each week will feature a 1-hour zoom group session to go over our writing manual, 1 writing assignment, and a review/edit session. The cost is 6,500 RMB and we begin from Jan 10th . We can accept up to 10 students.
