230822 Englisch: Write Better in English, level B1+ and higher (S) (WiSe 2012/2013)

Contents, comment

This is a theme and style based general English writing course that covers many different types of writing. The course is centered around writing practice, reading each others writing and speaking about writing and how to improve writing. In order to keep things interesting and creative, each week focuses on a different type of English writing (a list is provided below). Nevertheless, we will also focus multiple weeks in the middle of the semester on academic writing. If you are looking for a class to explore getting better in English writing, while at the same time having a good and sometimes entertaining time, then this class is for you.

Possible types of writing covered:

1. Personal / Memoir
2. Journalistic Immersion / Feature Story
3. Article Summary
4. Academic Paper Abstract / Proposal
5. Business White Paper / Formal Report
6. Application Cover Letter
7. Personal Bio
8. Email: Complaint, Apology, Arrangement
9. Persuasive Writing
10. Literary / Travel Essay
