Advanced Practical English Reading and Writing (APERW) will introduce intermediate level students to fundamental concepts related to English reading and writing. Students will practice using reading strategies to comprehend and analyze text of varying genres as well as to assess the author’s intentions. Additionally, this course will help students refine their sentence to paragraph level writing skills. Students will also learn tools that can help them in their reading and writing tasks. By the end of this course, students should be able to write a variety of paragraph types and comprehend intermediate level non-academic texts. Students will work individually or in small groups to develop these language skills. Active participation is a necessity.
