Let's Learn English: Daily Journaling Series 4 with Teacher Helen B2 CEFR

This is an English Writing flex class for students who love journaling, writing down their ideas and want to get daily writing practice and feedback. 

This class will not meet face-to-face. Each week will consist of 5x writing tasks to allow learners to improve their writing skills.  Learners will work collaboratively to improve their writing skills and knowledge. 

One of the benefits of this flex class can be that learners can take as much time as they want to review materials and the recordings. With writing, I think this can be beneficial. The idea with the daily writing journal course, is to give learners the opportunity to be writing in English each day. A different scenario, question or task will be posed each day for learners to write about. Tasks will be open ended to allow for learners to complete it as they can.

Each week will include vocabulary, grammar and input on ideas.  Five tasks will be set each week along with five 5-7 minute long videos. Learners will be provided with scaffolding for each of the tasks that they can follow. Each day will include input on suggested language learners may wish to use along with grammatical structures that will suit the topics. Learners are welcome to include doodles and drawings along with their journal entries.  The idea is that learners will upload their work each day to the classroom and keep a journal in English during the course. The teacher will provide feedback via the classroom on uploaded work.

Learners will be required to:

✔️Share ideas with other learners by completing 5x weekly journal tasks. 
✔️ Post 5x paragraphs a week in the Classroom for instructor feedback.
✔️ Critique and comment on classmates' paragraphs.
✔️ Respond to discussion questions in the Classroom.

The videos will be available for the length of the course. I do hope to add further daily journaling courses so learners can continue if they would like.  Please don’t hesitate to contact me with further questions.
