Learning Academic (English) Writing

Evening class.
On top of our UT classes, we also needed to take nights classes in Academic Writing. And with another smaller group of classmates from WG5. 

What was awesome in applying for a place in the UMD programme at IHS and the Netherlands Fellowship Program was that an ESL certificate wasn't required. It was super convenient, and didn't cost us a dime. So, though an added burden, the Academic Writing course should be pretty helpful.

Thing is, they didn't say it also involved 'speaking'! Yikes. I should not be scared but still...


Our teacher, Jodie Mann, is cool though. We actually wish IHS teachers are more like her. To be fair, the smaller class also helped alot.

A mouthful, but it should be Academic (English) Writing + Speaking, no?
