Cheshire Academy’s Writing, Composition, and Expression courses offer an intensive, context-based, genre-focused sequence of study in writing for academic purposes. These courses are for students whose home/comfort language is not English.
Students enhance grammatical, mechanical, and lexical control. The course focuses on improving writing styles such as memoirs, scientific articles, short stories, analytical responses, and research papers. Students explore how academic writing presents problems, poses questions, gives feedback, and supports discussion in all disciplines. Rhetorical modes include analysis, description, chronology, process, argument, cause and effect, classification, comparison and contrast, and opinion.
