| Course Description : | This course aims at introducing students to formal writing techniques which can help them produce cohesive and coherent forms of written English. Technical writing prepares students to learn the types of writing that will facilitate obtaining a career in professional, administrative and research-oriented fields. The types of writing to be taught include formal emails, reports, resumes, cover letters, business letters, memorandums, posters, and proposals among others. This course adopts a blended-learning approach, which is more student-cantered compared to traditional teaching methods. It provides students with the opportunity to find, examine and critically analyse online material. Students will be required to engage in online discussions and complete assignments online; thus, this course is characterised by interactive learning. The teacher performs the role of facilitator, who supervises students' activities online and discusses any points that may arise either online or inside the classroom. |
