Description:

Bridges for Business develops written communication skills. This online writing course is based on materials available from Atlantic Business Magazine OnlineĀ©. Students read a selected article each week, then answer questions that address vocabulary, understanding, and expression of original thought. A cycle of suggestions for correction from the instructor, student correction, and confirmation of the corrections follows. Development of student self-correction is reinforced in three one-hour VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) sessions with the instructor, in which corrections and observations can be discussed, and in which students get direction for focused writing development.

Features:
- Guided correction
- Opportunity to develop self-correction
- Exposure to idiomatic language in authentic context
- Opportunity to develop comprehension and self-expression at numerous levels of language
- Ten lessons, each with two feedback cycles
- Three live online sessions with an experienced ELP writing instructor
