Some student comments:

"It is very good and detailed."

"This has served as an excellent refresher course. This has given me confidence to write better and improve on my language skills. Thank you!"

"This is a very important course for those who intend to improve your writing skills."

This course is for anyone who wishes to improve his/her English writing skills. All the basics are included in three short, easy to handle lessons. This is an excellent course for those people who wish to improve their writing skills for school, in the workplace, or for their own personal growth and learning.

Added benefits include the fact that improved writing skills lead to improved speaking skills as well. Students include those from English speaking backgrounds who wish to improve their writing skills - young learners to adult and ESL or EFL students who wish to make gains in written English and become more familiar with the English language.

For students with English as their first language the goals would be to remind them of basics and improve their technical writing skills before moving into more complex writing materials.

For ESL and EFL students, the primary goals are to gain insight into the structure of writing in English and to build confidence.
