Browse Hierarchy EAL4750: Engaging Critically with Writing 1

This module is designed to provide students with the opportunity to explore and develop writing in different genres by studying the grammatical structures and lexis in context. Students examine varieties of English from a historical and cultural perspective. Students develop their writing in different genres including cyber communication, work-related texts and print media. They read and discuss texts and analyse the relationship between audience, purpose and content. Students also examine issues of fluency, clarity and correctness. This leads to personal and work-related writing tasks both in and out of class. There is regular feedback from the class tutor and from peers. This module is aimed at ERASMUS, Study Abroad and International students (non-native speakers of English only).
