BWC110 Basic Grammar Skills Tutorial
The Basic Grammar Skills Tutorial course is for people who have problems in grammar, punctuation, spelling, word usage, or sentence structure. This grammar course will help you learn new patterns to replace the old by using your own sentences as examples. The teaching, practice, and tests are based on your own writing as much as possible. This grammar course is highly individualized. The instructor carefully evaluates writing samples and prescribes study and practice based on your unique needs for grammar training. You work on only the specific skills you need to learn, at your own pace. You have unlimited access to the instructor to ask questions about business grammar.
You will send writing samples to your instructor. Your instructor will read each sample thoroughly, identify business grammar skills you need to learn, list the sentences with problems in each area of business grammar with corrections showing how the sentences should have been written, assign readings from the grammar textbook, answer any questions you have about the business grammar skills, have you practice the skills, and give you an online quiz containing sentences from your original writing sample that you must correct in ten minutes to be sure you have learned the business grammar skills. That comprises a full cycle of analysis of your writing and training in all the business grammar skills we identify that you need. You will go through four full cycles of this work on your business grammar skills.
You may purchase the grammar textbook we use from a bookseller such as Amazon.com. However, the textbook is not required for the course. You will use online training materials to learn the business grammar skills.
