ESL 003a - Intermediate English Grammar, Reading, and Writing II

Semester Hours: 0
This course is designed for non-native English-speaking students with intermediate-mid proficiency in reading and writing as defined by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) Proficiency Guidelines.  The course focuses on improving students’ grammar usage, broadening their vocabulary, improving their academic writing, and enhancing their interpretive reading strategies so they can narrate and describe in different time frames when writing about everyday events and situations in paragraph length discourse using complex syntax.  Students will use a broad range of texts to study conventions of academic writing, which they will use in practice: generating ideas, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing, with the goal of enabling students to master summarizing, paraphrasing, and reflecting upon assigned reading materials.  By the end of the course, students will improve their reading and writing skills to the intermediate-high level (ACTFL).

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
Intermediate-mid proficiency in reading and writing, as defined by the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines. (May be demonstrated by successful completion of non-credit bearing ESL 002a )
