• Welcome!

    Students with widely ranging levels of literacy skills will require this course. Some of these students may have significant gaps in their literacy knowledge and skills. In order to “demystify” the processes of reading and writing for such students, the course focuses on the strategies that competent readers and writers use to understand texts and to write for various purposes. Students taking the course will be given opportunities to improve their knowledge of these strategies and to practise using them in order to strengthen their literacy skills.
