--089e014933e84ec01d050294d70c Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello Everyone, I find FutureLearn courses to be generally well paced, and though a little low on material (which is actually a good thing, compared to some of those MOOCs that have generated intimidating amounts of material), educative. I have not taken this course in particular, but might audit it. If you are a beginner, struggling with ESL, this would be a good class I think. Sincerely, Srihari ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: FutureLearn <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Sep 8, 2014 at 1:04 PM Subject: A Beginner's Guide to Writing in English for University Study - We start in four weeks To: [email protected] Hello Srihari, We=E2=80=99re looking forward to welcoming you on to =E2=80=98A Beginner's = Guide to Writing in English for University Study=E2=80=99, which starts on Monday 6 October. This course is for non-native speakers of English with an IELTS level of 4.5 or above who are interested in studying at an English speaking university.
