Abstract
China has attracted many international students in the past five years through Chinese Scholarship Council (CSC) to improve the standard of higher education and research productivity. Most of the students come from “One belt, One Road” countries to pursue master and doctoral degrees. The School of International Education and Graduate School at Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT), China implemented Advanced Academic Writing Skills (AAWS) as a mandatory course for non-native English-speaking students, belonging to One Belt, One Road (OBOR), to enable them to improve and polish their academic writing skills. The ultimate goal of this paper is to critically investigate student’s perception of the AAWS mandatory course to improve their academic writing skills. Formative and summative assessments and student perceptions were used to assess the student satisfaction and knowledge. An evaluation index was administered to collect student perceptions about the course. Students reported a high degree of satisfaction with the course, indicating that the course was well-designed and implemented. The results provided a model to other universities to bring adjustments for the improvement of the academic writing skills of young researchers, and comprehensively improve the quality of research and publications worldwide. https://doi.org/10.26803/ijlter.16.10.7
