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
