Conceptos básicos y estándares de inglés para un semestre exitoso (en curso)

This class is designed to fill in the gaps learners may have in their English Grammar learning. Some students know nouns very well, but struggle with pronouns, or they may know how to punctuate sentences but struggle with commas, and that's where this class becomes helpful. Navigate the ins and outs of English Grammar with an English Grammar master, creative writer, and veteran teacher. 

This class is a weekly look at Grammar concepts. A new concept will be introduced each week, so new learners will see the same information for the first time as the learners who have been in the class the week before. 

The class is structured as a mini lesson over a part of speech, punctuation, writing concept, style, or a grammar concept like participles or prepositional phrases. Then, the class will utilize Gimkit interactive games to reinforce the learning from the lesson. An entirely new lesson will be ready each week, so no two classes will be exactly the same. There will also be the opportunity for learners to request English classes to fill in gaps where the learner may feel deficient.
