Composition 2 is a second-year required course and is the continuation of Composition 1, building on the English-language skills developed in Composition 1. This course focuses primarily on writing multi-paragraph essays. The course continues to stress accuracy in writing and emphasizes skills and strategies to improve the ability to communicate in written English. Students will also learn how to analyze and strengthen their written English and that of their classmates. The general goal of the course is to increase the academic English language proficiency of the students to a high-intermediate level in writing. This course is taught together with Oral Training 2.

In Composition II, you will learn (1) to organize essays in a logical order (time order, spatial order, emphatic order) and with proper transitions; (2) to write a well-organized expository essay with varied use of analytical strategies, including enumeration, process analysis, cause-effect analysis, and comparison/contrast analysis; (3) to write a well-organized summary-response essay on a selected article (to summarize, paraphrase, and quote)
