"Express Yourself" Through an Alliance for Lifelong Learning Class


Oakton's Alliance for Lifelong Learning (ALL) offers more than 20 language and communication courses this fall to help you "express yourself." Introductory and intermediate classes are available in sign language, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish.

For those interested in creative expression, ALL offers a variety of writing courses, including three taught by local author Richard Chwedyk: Science Fiction and Fantasy Writing (COM E99), Short Story Writing Workshop (COM E69), and Poetry Writing (COM E88). Chwedyk's poems and short stories have appeared in such publications as Amazing Stories, Oyez Review, Science Fiction Chronicle, and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction.

Other communication courses beginning soon include Public Speaking With Confidence (COM B02) and A Novel Idea (COM E84), a new, hands-on course for honing writing skills and developing memorable characters and story lines.

For a complete schedule of ALL classes, including information about registration and fees, visit www.oakton.edu/cont_ed or call (847) 982-9888, press 3.
