Intermediate - Advanced Level
This class is designed to take students through the writing process. It will not only show them how to become better writers in just the ideas they have, but also how to be better grammatically and structurally. My goal in this is to equip students for multiple writing styles (email, business, educational, formal, informal), while talking through when to use each of these based on context. Classes will include lecture, slides, discussion, and interactive group activities with the other students. A basic level of English writing is needed for this class, but it can be a beginning level.
