Course Description

Whether you are learning English as a second language or are a native speaker striving to improve your English and writing skills, understanding, proper grammar rules and guidelines are essential building blocks to creating clear and understandable thought processes and ideas.  This ESL basic grammar course will provide an introduction into the basics of English grammar with topics covering sentence structure, writing basics, as well as a review of basic English structure in the form of nouns, verbs, prepositions, adjectives and adverbs.

 

English grammar is essential to promoting communication, both verbally and in writing, and is a necessary aspect of many jobs and careers. Understanding the proper way to communicate in a wide range of fields helps to promote self-confidence, increased skill levels, and ensure job advancement and promotion.  While many of us were taught the basics of English grammar in elementary school, very few young adults in the 21st century understand the concepts of how to create cohesive and complete sentences, let alone complete term papers, thesis papers, or doctoral dissertations.
 

 Native English speakers as well as those learning English will benefit from the examples and reviews of basic English grammar structure and foundations presented throughout this course.  Don't think of English grammar as boring, but as a building block to greater understanding, enhanced skill levels, and stepping stones to better jobs and greater earnings.

This course will not require you to have previous experience in any particular area but you should have a high school reading level. No books will be required.
