Writing clearly 1: key grammar In-Person
In this workshop you will analyse examples of student writing in order to look at key grammar points that are important for clarity of meaning. Using a workshop booklet, you will discuss and practise these language points both as a class and in smaller groups. You will also have the chance to analyse and discuss the clarity of your own written work, so if possible, please bring a past or current assignment to the session. This workshop will be particularly useful if English in not your first language or if you are studying in English for the first time.
