Through discussions with several of the potential participants, I have found out that they have the following goals for a writing class: 1. Improve spelling 2. Improve punctuation and sentence structure. 3. Practice real-world writing (i.e. memos, e-mail, short reports, etc.) They are not interested in academic writing. Several expressed interest in dictations as a way to work on their spelling; they want the connection between the oral and written word. Can anyone recommend a textbook or a combination of textbooks that would be useful in such a writing class? Thank you. Amanda S.
