Description:

6 C.H. Code H Prerequisite: Recommendation of ESL* E150 Instructor and approval of ESL Department Coordinator. This course develops students' abilities to write effective essays and to reason critically in final preparation for ENG* E101. The course includes a very basic review of grammar and syntax, as needed. The goals of unity, coherence, research skills, MLA knowledge and logical development are pursued through analysis of professional and student essays, and through practice in prewriting, writing, and revision techniques. Students learn various organizational patterns. Students will write and revise several essays. This course helps advanced ESL students expand and refine, chiefly, their reading and writing skills for more effective written communication in college or career settings. Students read fiction and non-fiction, and then respond to readings by writing essays, summaries, and reports. During weekly meetings, students listen to lectures, engage in dialogues, and occasionally present oral reports and debates on selected topics. Activities focus on developing fluency, clarity, and correctness of expression, principally in the written form.
