66 1.Language enhancement is seen as a companion to the student’s normal course of study; 2.Language enhancement is not seen as something extraneous to the student’s normal learning, instead it must come along side of the designated course which is part of the student’s core curriculum. 3.Students are made aware of the fact that their ability in English language writing goes hand-in- hand with their learning in their chosen discipline.

67 within the context of courses in the student’s chosen discipline  Our aim is to provide a linguistically-sophisticated, pedagogically-motivated e-learning platform for assisting all CityU students, over the course of their university learning experience, to improve their English language writing ability within the context of courses in the student’s chosen discipline. a standardized comment bank used by all tutors, and the capability to (ii) track student performance by individual, and by cohort.  The platform should include (i) a standardized comment bank used by all tutors, and the capability to (ii) track student performance by individual, and by cohort.
