English 8

English 8 is the second skills-focused course of the Intermediate-Advanced Cycle in the Academic Purposes Support Program (AESP). Specifically, this course is a workshop-style intermediate writing course designed to assist students in developing language proficiency, language strategies, and basic principles of academic writing in English. Students will learn process writing to allow them to plan, edit, reflect upon, and revise sentences, paragraphs and essays with increasing confidence and independence. At the same time, students will progress toward more accurate, more advanced, and pragmatically appropriate use of English grammar and vocabulary, articularly for academic writing.
