Workshops in August 🌻

All new courses will be starting in September. In August, I am running three workshops. 

1️⃣

"Coherence and Cohesion in exam essays"

📅 Friday, 22 August, 11-12:30 Moscow time

This workshop on coherence and cohesion will feature:
- explanation of the difference between coherence and cohesion;
- a summary of most common cohesive devices and techniques (at least eight - yeah, it's not just adverbs or pronouns);
- examples of good and flawed or even non-existing CC;
- exercises and quizzes.

All examples will be based on my IELTS essays, but the fundamental principles are the same for essays in different exams.

"Teaching IELTS writing with model answers"

📅 Wednesday, 27 August, 11-12:30 Moscow time

A workshop for IELTS instructors on how to make the most of IELTS model answers (both W1 and W2). 

In this workshop, I'll share a whole host of meaningful activities you can do with model answers. Each activity is aimed at a certain goal and and tailored to a specific task and/or assessment criterion.

3️⃣

"Dynamic writing: how to break a wall of text"

📅 Friday, 29 August, 11-12:30 Moscow time

No one wants to read a wall of text - and you don't want to write one. To learn to make your texts more dynamic and engaging with the help of structural tools, join this practical workshop.

Tools:
- Paragraphing
- Punctuation to enhance meaning: colons, brackets, dashes, ellipsis
- Varying sentence length, structures, and types
- Visual tools: all caps, italics, bold
