Intended target audience
This course is aimed at intermediate and advanced level EFL students who are interested in learning how to prepare and write their own American style résumés proving they have capability to select and apply multiple concepts and rules involved in writing a résumé.

Any prerequisite knowledge required
Possession of the the required English proficiency, intermediate level or equivalent, to be apt to take the instructional unit.

Aims and outcomes

 * to identify and list the differences between a c.v. and a résumé correctly.
 * to write the 1stdraft of an American style résumé including its 4 sections {identification and contact info, career goals, career experience, achievements (publications,awards)}.
 * to lay out a résumé in MS Word on 8.5 x 11 paper with special attention to visual appearance and use of white space.
 * to know how to tailor the résumé to the needs of the employer correctly.
 * to improve reading and vocabulary skills.
 * to review preposition usage, subject-verb agreement, word forms and phrasal verbs.

Proposed delivery approach
This course will be put together using CC-BY-SA instructional materials I have previously developed. Students will be encouraged to search the Internet, discuss and share differences on cv and résumé formats, share their résumés with other peers, work collaboratively, do short reading assignments, and do online multiple-choice, short answers or scramble exercises. After an initial period of familiarization with the résumé format, students will start working on the 1st draft of their own personal résumé. The final product, 3rd draft of the résumé, is tailoring the résumé to meet the needs of a potential employer.

As students become more familiar with résumé writing, they will be encouraged to share their final résumés via the wiki and other social media.

Assessment strategy
Once students have demonstrated their knowledge of résumés by uploading a résumé they have created and by posting some hints and tips to help others to create their own résumés then they will be awarded a digital badge.

Interaction strategies

 * Students will be encouraged to share the résumés they have developed via the wiki and social media.
 * Students will be encouraged to take short online quizzes to review rules and principles they learned related to résumés, preposition usage, subject-verb agreement, word forms and phrasal verbs.
