Description
Digital natives who are not native speakers of English already have a wealth of experience in written communication on collaborative social media in their native languages as well as English. This course guides students to draw from their existing abilities, including academic knowledge achieved in languages other than English, to get a head start toward academic writing in English. Using a variety of electronic platforms, supportive applications, and collaborative methods, this course engages students in thematic writing on family, friendship, social issues, personal and cultural identity, world problems to build fluency and competence in written English.
