ESL 083 Intermediate Writing

2 credit hours

Students will incorporate concepts learned in their grammar class into their daily compositions, such as the simple past tense to describe sequential actions, the future tense to describe what will occur after class, the coming week, and in the coming years, and modals to describe possibilities and conjecture. Most assignments will be short, descriptive or narrative compositions. Students will write every day and keep a log of their daily activities (a diary). The instructor will correct student compositions, hand them back, and students will rewrite them with the corrections in an individual copybook meant for polished work. Students will also work with concepts of brainstorming and peer editing.
