Program Learning Outcome: WW4
Content
This module provides a theoretical and practical framework within which students review and analyse the most important aspects of academic English writing (and business research reports in particular), especially focusing on elements of macro- and microstructure and outlining, as well as reviewing and deepening aspects of English academic writing skills and processes.
Students will be required (a) to apply their knowledge of all aspects of business writing gained throughout this module by analysing their own work and (b) to convincingly present this critical analysis in the form of a written report, concluding on the quality of their report-writing skills, and giving themselves recommendations on their report-writing skills, making suggestions also for practical improvement.
The assessment will be based on an individual written assignment.
