What will be taught?
In this ongoing weekly course that meets twice a week, your learner will develop their written skills, by developing idea's with their peers. I will lead and inspire topic choices that will be relevant and fun, yet ensure relevance to the English curriculum. Many learners are challenged when they need to present written idea's in different formats, letters, articles, blogs, essays, descriptive, and creative forms. 
The aim of this class is to explore weekly a different written form, and how the different written compositions need to be presented to their audience. 

To achieve this we will work on:

- Language choice, formal or informal?
- Language features, and how to create the 'right tone' in a specific written composition.
- Different writing styles, persuasive, narrative, balanced, expository, explain, advise, advise, educate, and entertain.
- Structure techniques and understanding the importance of grammar.

Week 1 - 14/02/2022 - Theme - The Power Of Persuasion.

Week 2 - 21/02/2022 - Theme - A Personal Perspective, Making Writing Meaningful. 

Week 3 - 30/02/2022 - Theme - Reading For Meaning. 

Week 4 - 07/03/2022  - Theme - Opinion Vs A Fair Balanced Argument.

Week 5 - 14/03/2022  - Theme - Hypertherical Questions.

Week 6 - 21/03/2022  - Theme - How To Build A Strong Answer. 

Additionally, learners will explore different texts, understanding and evaluating writers idea's. I will also teach meaningful questions/answer debates that prompt students to engage more with different genres, and to encourage reading for meaning and evaluating texts.

Learners need to be able to both evaluate texts and create their own innovative authentic written pieces.

I am a fully qualified certified English Teacher, that is also a qualified examiner. I have been teaching and coaching for over 10 years.

Lessons are relaxed, yet structured and fun, and will be a safe place for learners to explore their idea's and develop concrete written responses.  Topics will be driven by your learners, but led by the teacher.

Topics will include traditional language questions, as well as broader contemporary questions that excite your learner.
