ASSIGNMENTS
This course offers more than just guidelines. You will have the chance for real writing practice. Your sentences and your paragraphs will be corrected by the instructor. Yes, I will be the one giving you feedback!
This is a self-paced writing skills course for intermediate students who wish to master proper sentence structure and sentence punctuation. Students will gain practice writing different types of sentences and learn how to avoid common mistakes. Practice is designed to build toward paragraph writing. By the end of the course, students will be able to construct a proper paragraph with a topic sentence, support, and a concluding sentence.
Instruction consists of six video tutorials, ten original quizzes, and four writing assignments to be corrected by the instructor. There is also a downloadable three-page PDF study sheet with helpful notes for review. The total estimated time to complete this course is between two and three hours, which should ideally be spread out over the course of several days. Additional exercises on my website are recommended for those who wish to practice certain points further. The Course Schedule presents all required and recommended tasks in their proper sequence. As an enrolled student, you will have access to the Course Feed, a private discussion board for questions and comments.
You will have approximately three hours of study to be completed at your own pace. The price of three hours with a private tutor is $180 or more! For this self-paced course, you will pay only $89.

Teaching has been an important part of my life for well over 15 years. I have taught English as a foreign and second language since 1996. I began teaching English in Russia, and I presently live the U.S. I have been working online as an instructor and content creator since 2007. I also like to create materials to share with other teachers. My Pearson-sponsored blog won the 2010 EDDIE Award in the category of ESL Website Blog. Students likely know me best as JenniferESL on YouTube. I am tremendously happy to have over three hundred thousand subscribers worldwide. In 2011 my channel was recognized in YouTube's "On the Rise" contest.
Since 2010, I have contributed more actively within professional circles. I have presented at the annual TESOL and MATSOL conventions in addition to giving professional development webinars. From March 2011 to March 2014, I served as a member of the TESOL Book Publications Committee. I remain an active member of the Materials Writers Interest Section.
I also have materials available offline. I have had the good fortune to be able to work with very skilled educators. I co-authored the Vocabulary Power series, contributed materials to New Password, and was on the writing team for Pearson’s hybrid series Next Generation Grammar, for which I also appear as the video Grammar Coach.
I am very excited to teach here on WizIQ, and I look forward to helping you reach your language goals.
