Hello everyone, welcome to the University of Tsukuba.
Today I am going to introduce you to this course. Please click the link to download the course outline.

This semester you will do five writing tasks, four paragraphs, and one essay. You will share your writing with your classmates, and the world, by posting them on our University of Tsukuba Academic Writing Blog. Please click the link to see some writing done by University of Tsukuba students in my previous classes.


In order to do academic writing, you need to know academic vocabulary. We will study the most useful academic English vocabulary using an online tool called Quizlet. Please click the link to download a document that tells you how to get started with Quizlet. Next, please click the link to join our class on Quizlet. Now please study the vocabulary for 5 minutes.
Finally, please leave a comment. Please introduce yourself to me and your classmates. Tell us about your hometown, your major and your favourite pastimes.
See you!
