ESL 004 - Advanced Grammar

0.00

ESL Advanced Grammar is a comprehensive examination of English grammar for advanced non-native English speaking (NNES) students, with emphasis on refining their skill in the use of complex sentence structures both in speaking and in writing. Structures include verb forms in the present, past, and future timeframes in simple, progressive, perfect and perfect-progressive aspects, as well as past and passive forms of infinitives, gerunds, and modal auxiliaries. Emphasis is also placed on complex sentences with a variety of adverb, adjective, and noun clauses. In addition, negative-fronting, fronting for emphasis, and cleft sentence patterns are covered as they can be employed for academic written English. Speaking and listening activities in class focus on the correct usage of grammatical structures. Does not count toward graduation requirements.
