For those whose first language is not English and whose knowledge of English is not adequate for them to succeed in college. Intensive instruction in grammar, usage, reading, and writing. Also helps to familiarize the student with American Culture. This class will be taught only when a need is indicated by adequate student enrollment.
-
3.00 Credits
The purpose of this course is to teach non-native English speakers the reading skills necessary for success in college. This course provides students with effective strategies for increasing vocabulary, taking notes, and reading college-level texts. The course promotes active reading skills that guide students from basic literal understandings of a text to interpretations, including the formation of inferences, conclusions and judgments. At the end of the semester, students will take a department-wide exit examination in reading comprehension. Students must earn a C or better for their work during the semester and pass the exit exam to pass the course. This class will be taught only when a need is indicated by adequate student enrollment.
-
3.00 Credits
This writing course is designed to introduce to non-native English speakers the writing skills they will need in college. The course focuses on the writing process and developing writing skills in two areas: outof- class compositions and in-class essay tests. Students learn to write short papers that are clear, concise, unified, and relatively free of mechanical and grammatical problems. Students write a minimum of eight papers, some out of class and at least two in class. Near the end of the course, students will complete a timed writing which will be evaluated by the department to assess the writer's preparedness to move on to English 101. This class will be taught only when a need is indicated by adequate student enrollment.
-
3.00 Credits
This course teaches non-native English speakers the basics of the pronunciation of American English (the sounds, intonation, stress, and rhythm). The course is designed to develop students' clarity of speech and listening comprehension skills through a variety of listening/ speaking activities. To successfully complete this course, students must pass a final oral interview and portfolio review. This class will be taught only when a need is indicated by adequate student enrollment.
-
