As a result, students will have the pre-requisite reading and writing skills to enter UniPrep.
This course will address academic reading and writing skills at an intermediate and introductory academic level. Students will learn how to write straightforward connected texts on a range of familiar subjects, by linking a series of shorter discrete elements into a linear sequence.
