The fifteen writing prompts in this section can help you build fluency and confidence in using English grammar in academic situations. Use the prompts in conjunction with the intensive and extensive practice instructions. If you would like to focus on points of grammar, sentence structure, essay development, or editing skills, use the directions for intensive practice. If you would like to develop your fluency—your ability to write in English without translating from your native language—use the directions for extensive practice. Each prompt is accompanied by a suggested writing focus, which can be used with either the intensive or the extensive practice.
