Course Description

For middle-school students or  Asean professionals looking to refine their written ESL, this course is the first step.  The Elements of Style by Strunk & White is an American classic.  Though small, it covers basic principles of clarity, vigor, usage, punctuation, parts-of-speech and structure. Addresses common abuses of words, phrases, punctuation, and wordiness.  

Paired with our Latin I course it’s a powerful combination for learning to interpret and enjoy the Word of God and the world God rules.  Plus, Latin study cuts time to master a profession by 50%.  Simple exercises get you off on the “write foot.”   Spreeder vocabulary builder and speed reading programs are also required for full-time students.   For placement, send a sample of recent writing to the instructor.
