This practical subject leads the student in a systematic way to the writing of different academic texts at a B2 + level of the CEFR through a series of logical and practical steps of the writing process and in turn, strengthening the knowledge of the English language. Course content and learning experiences of this subject contribute to the objectives of the Institutional Humanist Training Program and its partial accreditation. This subject is preceded by the subjects of Communication Skills I and II, Advanced Text Comprehension Workshop in English and precedes Oral Expression Workshop in English and Academic Writing in English. Additionally, it supports all the subjects of the curricular areas of Applied Linguistics for the Teaching of English, Methodology of the Teaching of English, and Teaching Practices.
At the end of the course, the student will have written various types of academic texts in the English language at an advanced level based on the different types of texts. They will do so in a reflective way, open to constructive criticism, quality, professional ethics, and promoting continuous learning.
