If you are interested in practicing your academic writing in English and learning how to navigate free courses online, you should check out the course in the link below:
https://www.edx.org/course/uc-berkeleyx/uc-berkeleyx-colwri2-3x-principles-1535
It is a five-week university-level course created for learners of English to improve and refine academic writing skills. The course requires you to spend around 4-5 hours a week doing readings and course quizzes/assignments but as long as you submit your assignments at the end of each week it is up to you when you choose to do your work and connect to the internet. Students who receive a grade of 50% or higher and who submit the necessary homework assignments will receive a certificate of completion from the University of California Berkeley. Most of the course assignments will be quizzes and discussion posts, with a final paper (around 5-7 paragraphs) at the end.
As teachers of English, you all have the necessary language skills to complete the course. The electronic program for the course is easy-to-use and you may find that the course provides you with valuable resources. Alassane Dia, a colleague at UGB, recently completed an earlier section of this course.
Additionally, if you find that you really like the course, there are many other free courses offered through EdX on many different topics that you could take in the future!
Note that the course begins on APRIL 1st. If you are interested, please register soon. Let Erin know if you are signing up for the class and feel free to contact her with any questions at erinjstpeter@gmail.com
