DSLA 0330 - Reading and Vocabulary III

Institution:

Central Texas College

Subject:

Description:

This course is a continuation of DSLA 0320, Reading and Vocabulary II, in the Certificate Program for English-as-a-Second Language. It provides advanced vocabulary acquisition and comprehension skills through the study of short stories and informational articles. A laboratory is required. A Comprehensive English Language Test Score (CELT) and DSLA 0320 are prerequisites of the course if offered on Central Campus. This course may also be offered as a stand-alone online course outside of the ESL certificate program in order for non-native speakers to expand vocabulary and improve comprehension skills. In the case of the online course, CELT and DSLA 320 are not prerequisites. Instead, because this course is not for beginners, online students must take a pretest before enrolling in the online course to determine if their language level is appropriate for the textbook and coursework. The pretest is located on the ESL web page at http://www.ctcd.edu/pg-esl.htm . Once the student has taken and submitted the test, the ESL department will email permission to enroll online. The online course is not available to F-1 visa students in an ESL program within the U.S. in accordance with INS document 67 FR 76256, revised effective 1/1/03, and CTC International Student Services policy.
