MOOC: Writing in English at University

This course aims:

• to give you an understanding of the conventions of academic writing in English and to teach you the components and benefits of what is called process writing.
• to help you to put together your own “toolbox” of academic writing skills, as well as to give you a chance to test out these tools and to reflect on your own development as a writer.
