This is an excellent course for those people who wish to improve their writing skills for school, in the workplace, or for their own personal growth and learning.

Added benefits include the fact that improved writing skills lead to improved speaking skills as well. Students include those from English speaking backgrounds who wish to improve their writing skills - young learners to adult and ESL or EFL students who wish to make gains in written English and become more familiar with the English language.

For students with English as their first language the goals would be to remind them of basics and improve their technical writing skills before moving into more complex writing materials.
