>Hi all,
>
>Saint Mary's is currently looking into resurrecting an "ESL 100" course,
>which seems like it will focus on how to write an academic essay in
>English (with particular emphasis on plagiarism). I don't have a TESL
>background, so I'm just wondering if any of you have any educated
>thoughts on whether this would be useful or not.
>
>As a bit of background, Saint Mary's does have a TESL centre, but it is
>geared towards students who will register in the university the
>following year (i.e. a prep school), not for students already attending
>the school. As well, all SMU students have to take one half-year English
>literature course (no composition is taught in it).
>
>Any thoughts that you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thank
>you!
>
>Sincerely,
>Julie-Ann
