Welcome to English 3600 at WMU.
One of the gifts of being a writer is that it gives you an excuse to do
things, to go places and explore.
Another is that writing motivates you to look closely at life, at life
as it lurches by and tramps around.
- Anne Lamott
Course
Description
This course aims to help college-bound
international students to use language appropriately for study in a higher
education setting. Through continued, directed practice and frequent feedback,
students develop competence in analysis,
organization, and presentation of information in
writing. Students use critical and rhetorical thinking to
write different genres of academic writing.
Course
Rationale
This course is for undergraduate and
graduates who are non-native speakers of English and who have sufficient
language proficiency to be admitted to the University, but who need to improve
their reading and writing skills in order to perform successfully in their
academic world. The course
promotes further development in the ability to read academic prose and to write
in the genres needed for academic success, including the research paper. Attention will be paid to critical
reading and editing for grammatical correctness in writing.
