This 8-week course is designed for students from high beginner to low intermediate level to improve their reading and writing skills. As students do reading activities, they will pay attention to the things that contribute to good writing. They will apply these ideas to their own writing by (1) learning and reviewing the basics of good sentence structure, (2) developing and using creative ideas, (3) constructing effective paragraphs, and (4) putting together larger pieces of writing – paragraphs, emails, stories, etc. – according to students’ needs and wants.
