Annotation
The E-learning course is aimed at students on an intermediate level and above who want to gain confidence and concision while writing on academic topics. By individual assignments, shared forums and group work, students build their portfolio of various types of academic texts while implementing different writing strategies and building up the characteristic vocabulary, phraseology and grammar structures. The regular feedback from the course instructor ensures steady progress and the elimination of bad habits in writing. The focus is mainly on essays, formal letters, articles, summaries or abstracts. This course is provided entirely through the Moodle platform.
Enrolled students will receive an informational email in the first week of the semester.
