Learning to write well in English starts with understanding the smallest building blocks and gradually combining them into something bigger. This course offers a clear, step-by-step path that moves from sentence structure to paragraph formation and finally to complete text creation, giving you a solid foundation for any writing task.
What will you learn in this writing course?
The course is organized around three core skills that build on each other [0:03]:
- Basic sentence structure: understanding how a sentence works and what elements it needs.
- Paragraph formation: learning how to connect sentences so they communicate one clear idea.
- Text creation: combining paragraphs into a cohesive, complete piece of writing.
This progression is essential because writing is not just about putting words on a page. Each level adds complexity, and mastering one step makes the next one much easier.
Who is the teacher and what is the course approach?
The instructor is Fernanda Machado, a Brazilian teacher who has been living in Colombia for four years and has been teaching since 2012 [0:17]. Her experience across different cultures and languages brings a practical perspective to English writing instruction.
Every class includes a hands-on activity that you complete and share with the learning community [0:33]. This practice-based approach means you are not just reading about writing — you are actually writing from day one.
Why should you keep a writing record?
One valuable recommendation is to create a document or use a notebook where you collect every sentence, paragraph, and text you produce during the course [0:39]. This personal record serves two purposes:
- It gives you a tangible way to track your progress across all the classes.
- It works as a reference you can revisit whenever you need to review a concept or structure.
Tracking your own improvement over time is a powerful motivator, especially when writing feels challenging at the beginning.
How can you make the most of this course?
Active participation is key. Completing the activities, sharing your work, and maintaining your writing record will help you internalize the structures rather than just memorize them. Writing is a skill that improves with consistent practice, and this course is designed to give you that practice in a guided, supportive way.
If you have any doubts along the way, the instructor encourages you to ask questions and engage with the material. What writing skill are you most excited to develop? Share your goals and let the learning begin.
