Course Description:
This grammar course prepares the student for college level work in their core and major classes. The focus is on
accuracy and fluency and meaningful use of structures in context, in various types of disclosures, both in speaking and
writing. In addition, there must be a special focus on complex sentences, on subordination, on gerunds and infinitives,
and on active and passive voices.
Course Objectives:
- Improve their understanding of the rules of English grammar and increase their ability to express themselves
accurately and comprehensively through the use of these rules in controlled and open exercises.
- Acquire a deeper understanding of the basic principles guiding English grammar, in part by introducing new
grammar rules, but primarily by reviewing and explaining in depth the grammar rules that were learned previously.
- Focus on the advanced grammar necessary to read, write, and speak in a medium level course.
- Use grammatical knowledge practically and critically by having them complete and analyse daily grammar exercises
in the student’s book and on the web and by administering periodic quizzes and exams.
