With our academic writing courses, students will gain the confidence, skills, and knowledge they need to succeed in their academic careers.
This real-time online course aims to prepare students for their academic studies at English-speaking universities where academic writing skills are highly demanding. The course is divided into three stages in which generic academic writing skills are taught in the first stage (6 sessions), students are helped better understand college essay or project requirements in the second part (2 sessions), and personalised advice on students’ essay production is given in the third/final stage (4 sessions). Both the second and third stages are conducted in the form of a one-on-one personal / small group conference.
The ability to deliver academic presentations with impact and persuasiveness is imperative. Impactful academic presentations help project professional image to audiences and achieve academic and career successes. Non-native speakers often find academic presentations in English challenging because they are required to respond to questions raised by audiences in academic conferences, viva voce, or coursework in higher education.
This course will help you if you take a degree course that requires you to produce assignments in English. It will enable you to learn, to write and succeed across college and university curriculums. The course aims to empower you to write clearly, coherently, and concisely and to acquire the academic literacies and discourse conventions applicable to most disciplines in higher education.
