St. Mary College/Nunoike Gaigo Senmon Gakko Extension
|
In this course you will complete weekly writing activities, participate in discussion forums,
and watch lectures that will help you learn how to successfully complete the writing section
of the TOEFL iBT test. Since the class does not meet in real time, you can complete the
weekly activities at your own pace, whenever you have time during the week.
The class activities will be completed on this website and a password protected class page
on the Colorado State University Writing Studio website. Use this class website to:
- View the lectures
- Find links to information related to the class
You will have a personal account on the Writing Studio which will allow you to access the
Introduction to TOEFL Writing class page. On the Writing Studio you will:
- Answer weekly discussion questions and respond to your classmates' ideas in the
Discussion Forum
- Submit weekly assignments in using the File Folders
- Find links to other websites that will help you successfully complete the writing section
of the TOEFL iBT test
Upon successfully completing 80% of the coursework you will receive a certificate of
completion from the St. Mary College/Nunoike Gaigo Senmon Gakko extension program.
If you have any questions, please post them in the forum on the Writing Studio Introduction
to TOEFL Writing class page or email me.
