Writing Essays

Essay writing is important at school and university level, although its greatest value may lie in helping students clarify and organise their thoughts, and to structure and support an argument. Although not always feasible, especially in an EFL programme where paragraph-writing might be the sine qua non, essays offer opportunities for both formative and summative assessment. 

This seminar reviews essay-types, a general teaching approach and a teacher-friendly, reliable assessment strategy and is suitable for High School (G9 - 12) EFL and Middle School / High School (G5 - 12) E2L, bilingual and immersion teachers. Other sessions cover examination essays, literary essays and reflective essays.
