A panoply of teaching resources.
This ESL lesson teaches English hedging techniques. Hedging is an important writing skill because it shows ESL students how to express sophisticated ideas and avoid broad claims that, sometimes, can appear clunky. Learning English hedging techniques and vocabulary improves the student’s ability to express reasonable arguments, sound more persuasive and communicate with greater precision.
This is partial week for my writing classes because of the holidays on Monday and Tuesday.
Intermediate English writing students can prepare for quiz 1 by reviewing and answering these questions.
The quiz will use some of the questions, not all of them. The questions on the quiz will be random so I suggest you study all of these questions.
Learning English rules governing the use of commas is tough. My writer’s grammar guide has 20 pages about commas, half of which includes exceptions to the rules. This lesson helps ESL students become better writers by showing three common uses for commas and some exceptions. It’s not comprehensive. Instead, it builds knowledge, slowly and progressively. Too much grammar at one time is like drinking water from a fire hydrant: it can be overwhelming.
