    Currently, I'm developing a new business writing course called "ESL 525 Elements of Business Writing" in collaboration with my colleagues in Illinois ESL. It is targeted at upper-level international students who needs a single course sequence to fulfill their graduation requirement and wants to study business writing rather than academic writing for their career goal. I'm excited about bringing this course to life soon!
