Thanks. Would it be possible to see your syllabus? This is the first attempt
of this class and I modified it so as to not be insulting to EFL students
who already think they can write, even though many cannot write well. I know
there is no 'right' syllabus or way--I've taught for 20 years, but I think
this is very important. I will definitely look at the site. Thanks. T
