XSPP-05 - Academic Writing for International Students
Course Description
Essay Writing Workshop: You will write your way to self-discovery as you practice writing the personal essay. This workshop will prepare you for the writing of college application essays, but more importantly, it will arm you with the tools of composing, selecting, editing and reading in the writing process.
Academic to Writing for International Students: Introduces students to the components of the writing process, from generating ideas to drafting and revising. In a workshop setting, students learn to read various texts (which in turn serve as the occasion for their own writing), and to write expository prose that makes use of a variety of writing strategies and research methods, while demonstrating a control of the conventions of standard edited written English. Requires students to write multiple drafts and emphasizes the writing process as well as the quality of the finished product. Students keep a portfolio of their work.
Summer Discovery partners with the Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies to offer non-credit enrichment classes, exclusively for Summer Discovery students, taught by Georgetown University faculty, graduate teaching instructors and industry professionals, that meet 4 times weekly for 1.5 hours each.
