Goal 4. Writing

The learner will communicate in appropriate written English in a variety of personal, social, and academic contexts.

Level: Advanced

Students will use expanded vocabulary effectively in social and academic settings with occasional errors and will rely much less on forms of non-verbal communication. Learning objectives focus on narration and retelling using details and adjectives, paraphrasing events in detail, speaking with correct intonation and modulation, identifying punctuation marks, applying syllabication rules, following two-step and three-step directions, and reading or interpreting own writing with few errors.
