”„From Reading to Writing”¦ is developed to offer a place for people who are interested in polishing their English reading and writing skills. There are 10 units in total. In each unit, there is one reading skill and one writing skill accompanied by a grammar focus.

The writing skills are: topic sentences, supporting sentences (examples, details and statistic facts), outlining, summary, synthesis, comments and creating.
And the grammar focuses cover 5 sentence patterns: passive voice, subjunctive moods, adjectives & adverbs and thought patterns.
After the lectures and study, participants are asked to hand in three assignments for each unit on time to prove that they are eligible for the completion of the program. In addition, a discussion topic is posted monthly to evoke participants”¦ interest and to allow them to practice their writing and organization skills on-line.
Through the process of the program, participants will be trained to not only comprehend reading passages but also to observe how all the sentences in those passages are constructed and developed. Eventually, they will be able to master both reading and writing skills. |
