Opportunity #2: New MOOC: Principles of Written English, Part 2 
The English Language Office at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow is pleased to announce that part two of the popular MOOC (Massively Open Online Course) , “Principles of Written English” will begin on February 4, 2015. In this second part of the academic writing course, participants will focus on proofreading and self-editing, revision vs. editing, common errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling, understanding tone and diction, and vocabulary development. The course materials will be offered via readings, videos, and various types of homework assignments. There are also suggested optional textbooks for additional writing work. Participants will take part in online discussions as well as peer review of their writing. As a part of this course, students will be expected to complete one full essay. For those that were not able to participate in part one of the courses there is no need to worry. While all three sections in this series are complimentary, each section can be taken as a “stand-alone” course.
