English Grammar Workshop
English Grammar Workshop is a course designed for educators who want to feel confident with their knowledge about grammar and linguistics.
Feel Confident about English Grammar and Linguistics!
Too often I've been in a meeting where I felt stupid when I couldn't answer a question about the English language. I'm a speech pathologist and native English speaker - shouldn't it be easy for me? No, English is complex and because English has components from Germanic, Latin, French language traditions, it can feel like a hodge-podge of a language (it is!). This course will give you the knowledge and skills to talk about the English language with confidence. WATCH THE VIDEO TO SEE INSIDE THE COURSE AND ALL THE MODULES:
