The purpose of ES1000 is to improve the students' English language skills in reading, writing and grammar. Topics covered include paragraph unity, coherence, sentence patterns, and academic integrity. Students will integrate diverse vocabulary, sentence structures, and grammatical elements to synthesise academic ideas, construct cohesive paragraphs, and reflect critically on their writing process. |

ES1103 serves as a bridging course for students who have taken the university's Qualifying English Test and are deemed to require additional language support for the academic context. It aims to equip students with the knowledge of the academic genre and the ability to apply such knowledge in academic communication. The course adopts a reading-into-writing approach using themed readings as springboard texts for students' writing and provides opportunities for analysing and internalising ways of organising academic texts. Students will acquire essential academic skills required to cope with the rigour of academic writing at a tertiary level. |
