The University of Connecticut American English Language Institute (UCAELI) is excited to announce a new online Academic Writing course that has been designed to meet the needs of UConn graduate
students who are non-native English speakers/writers. The course will be offered for the first time in spring 2016, recurring each fall and spring semester.
UCAELI Online Academic Writing Course (AELI NC600)
Dates: 1/25/16 to 5/6/16
Fee: $350
Instructor: Stephanie Barefield
Course Description: This non-credit course is designed for UConn graduate students who are non-native English speakers and writers. The purpose of the course
is to develop essential skills for writing research papers appropriate to participants’ academic disciplines. Topics will include positioning, moving from general to specific and from problem to solution, discussing data, summarizing and critiquing, and improving
writing though the process of producing multiple drafts. Interactive and collaborative activities will build awareness of common grammatical forms and linguistic conventions of scholarly works, ability to analyze, cite and respond to others’ work, and strategies
and resources to support ongoing proofreading and self-editing. Although the course is not designed to be an editing portal for work in other courses, research topics, readings and assignments will draw from participants’ current coursework and academic interests.
Following an initial face-to-face meeting, the course will be delivered online through HuskyCT.
Class size is limited to 15.
