Academic English Program
This program consists of 4 courses focusing on academic writing that are offered to Year 3 and Year 4 students. This program is designed to accommodate a diverse range of language competence. It instills students’ confidence and provides the necessary tools for successful academic writing. More content-area-related assignments with more academic vocabulary and readings prepare students for the challenges of the academic classroom. The first two courses are introductory writing courses that provide students with the support and instructions they need to successfully produce some basic writing. Moving to Year 4, students are introduced to evidence-based writing where students are required to search for credible sources and read academic materials to support their arguments in their writings.
