Welcome to 1102

Dear Students,

Welcome to ES 1102, English for Academic Purposes. My name is Misty Cook.

I will be your facilitator for 1102 this term. We will be covering many aspects in 1102 that will enhance your academic writing skills and prepare you for academic writing at NUS.

In particular, this course aims to guide you in:

• sourcing for and understanding academic texts;

• synthesising and integrating information into your writing;

• writing essays and other assignments;

• acknowledging sources in essays using an accepted documentation style;

• using grammar and other language conventions accurately in context.

During the term, you will access the following links:
