This remedial course is intended to improve academic and practical writing skills, concentrating on issues of written Arabic such as the length of sentences, the absence of punctuation marks, as well as such phenomena as repetition, redundancies, exaggeration, etc.; to raising the students’ attention regarding the identity of the presumed receiver so as to guarantee the effectiveness of written communication; to producing a short essay, then linking it to a longer one or placing it within a short piece of academic research; and to identifying common errors in linguistic and semantic composition and morphology.
