Catalog description

Academic Writing addresses the needs of multilingual learners by teaching various rhetorical situations used to frame nonfiction essays in a variety of modes, the writing process, and sentence fluency.

Using the framework on translanguaging, Academic Writing teaches the writing process and how to employ it when composing an effective essay. Sentence skills, written articulation of ideas, organization, attention to audience, and development of ideas will be focused on while developing critical thinking skills.
