Our Approach

This course is interactive and practical. Participants have many opportunities to work alone and in small groups. There is plenty of small and large-group discussion, and very little lecturing.

We recognize that participants learn by doing, and they do a lot in this course. Participants will have opportunities to revise about 100 sentences and several documents we provide; wherever possible, they self- and peer-edit their own documents.
