Why take this class?

As an English instructor who has been teaching non-native English speakers since 2007 at Sungkunkwan University, South Korea’s second-ranked university, I have taken the core elements from my Formal English Writing class and compiled those lessons here for you to learn. This is the same writing and grammar curriculum top South Korean students learn as a requirement in order to graduate, and now you, too, have access to this material.

What topics are covered in this course?

The goal of this course is for students to develop a basic level of knowledge and understanding of writing in grammatically correct English. You will start with the fundamentals of grammar related to writing and build up your English skills as you progress through each lesson.

You will learn the following:

· Paragraph Format

· Paragraph Structure

· Capitalization

· Topic Sentences

· Descriptive Adjectives

· Sentence Basics

· The 4 Types of Sentences

· Articles (The, An, A)

· Plural Usage

· Prepositions

· Comparatives and Superlatives
