Composition 3 and Composition 4

ENL 073 and ENL 074

Composition 3 and Composition 4 are intermediate and upper intermediate level courses. They are here so that you can learn and can practice using patterns that Americans use in writing. The courses focus on using the English Grammar correctly, and on writing strong paragraphs in level 3, and strong essays in level 4. Another goal for both of these courses is to develop your confidence level in your ability to use English thought process when writing, and to write your thoughts down more quickly.
