What will be taught? This self-paced English Grammar and Writing Skills class focuses on enhancing students' understanding of the most essential and often confused grammar rules and improving their writing proficiency. Students will learn to write various aspects of English grammar. How is your class structured? The class is structured into 10 comprehensive lessons, each designed to take approximately 1 hour, including quizzes. Students will progress through the condensed lessons at their own pace, ensuring an enhanced understanding of each topic before moving on to the next. How will you teach? My teaching approach in this class includes a mix of instructional methods delivered asynchronously. Each lesson comprises: - Visual aids to reinforce learning - Practical examples - Quizzes to test comprehension and reinforce learning What's your teaching style? My teaching style is supportive and interactive, focusing on clear explanations and practical application. I believe in making learning enjoyable and accessible through engaging content and varied teaching methods. How much will learners get to interact with you? While this is a self-paced class, learners will have opportunities to interact with me: Discussion Forums: An online space to ask questions, share ideas, and receive feedback. Interactive Quizzes: Fun and engaging ways to reinforce learning. The teacher will communicate each week with every student within the classroom and will respond to all questions from students within 48 hours. Students are welcome to ask any questions, including feedback to their in-class writing exercises. If students desire in-depth or customized teaching, then they should follow this course by enrolling in one of my 1:1 Writing courses.
