About this course

This 4 week course aims to help adults gain confidence in their Reading and Writing skills.  This is taught in line with the adult Functional Skills curriculum from Entry level 3 to level 2.  You will receive a two-hour online lesson with your tutor each week

This course will give a good insight into what is involved in our 19-week Functional English courses that lead to a City and Guilds qualification. These will begin in September 2021 and will be a good progression route from this short course.

By the end of the course you will be able to;

  • Identify and correctly use adjectives and verbs
  • Identify and correctly use text layout and some language features.
  • Produce examples of your own writing that is descriptive, persuasive, informative and instructive.
  • Feel more confident in your writing skills.
  • A basic level of literacy is preferred and an interest developing your English skills.

You will need:

  • Internet access and video call facilities.
  • Pen and paper
