Abstract
Teaching writing in an international university is rewarding because teachers cross paths with students
from different walks of life. As such, it makes the English writing class more interesting because students
come in with different writing experiences. This could be an issue, though, as teachers will need to meet the
objectives of the course whilst attending to the different writing needs of the students. This academic article
presents some pertinent issues for writing courses in an international setting. It is hoped that this paper will
give insights to teachers who find themselves teaching in a similar setting.
