Before you can join this course, you will need to talk to a member of staff and do an initial assessment to make sure the course is right for you. For more information and to book an appointment please call 0300 303 3464. This course will help you to increase your confidence writing longer texts in a range of everyday and more formal situations (e.g. work and education). It will help to improve your spelling of less common words by using strategies you have learned before. We will look at extending sentences (using 2 or more clauses), paying particular attention to the grammatical accuracy, in a range of tenses to write about events and actions in the past, present and future.

Course aim

This course will help you to develop your writing skills. It leads to a City & Guilds ESOL Entry 3 Writing qualification.

Do I need any particular skills or experience?

  • Plan and write an initial draft of a text.
  • Organise a short text using paragraphs (showing order of events in time or for instructions).
  • Use a range of conjunctions to write compound and complex sentences.
  • Identify and explain how prefixes and suffixes can build up word families (adverbs, nouns and adjectives) from a common root word.
