The key objective of the course is to improve students' Academic English writing. Typically the main need is to improve the ability to write essays of sometimes considerable length. With academic writing in English, it is important students get better at writing in a formal objective way. This is reflected in the use of the passive and objective/scientific vocabulary and phrases. These are common features of academic English writing, as is the need for clear structuring of the content from introduction to conclusion.
