3 credits This course is designed to assist advanced-level nonnative English speakers in acquiring academic communicative competence. Students will be introduced to specific settings in which to use an academic register and be familiarized with the rules and quality of performance that are expected in these settings. Because nearly all authentic academic communication situations involve integration of all four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), course activities will integrate all four skills. Students will be required to participate in interviews, orally interpret graphs and tables, define terms, and discuss articles. They will also receive practice with listening to lectures, taking notes, and participating in class discussions. Finally, they will give a process and impromptu speech, serve on a panel discussion, participate in a seminar, and challenge and defend a position.

Through the use of relevant texts and oral language, students will focus on the grammatical aptitude required for success at the university level in the skill areas of writing, reading, speaking and listening. The prerequisite of ELB110 is a minimum ACT Reading/English score of 13.
