2.00 - 10.00 Credits
Teaches American English to speakers of other languages so that they may use this language for whatever purposes they choose. Meets the needs of English for academic purposes, it is also open to and adaptable to students with a variety of language needs. Students progress at their own rate as individual language needs in areas such as pronunciation, reading, writing, grammar, and conversation are met. Students will be expected to have 15 contact hours for each unit of registration.
