ENGL 086/087 — Academic Advanced ESL Reading, Writing, and Grammar Combined
In this course, students will develop their reading comprehension and vocabulary building with an emphasis on academic preparation for college-level courses. Students will apply critical thinking skills and information literacy skills to analyze advanced-level readings. Students will acquire the English language skills needed to write multi-paragraph compositions at a level of accuracy and fluency appropriate for an advanced learner of academic English. Using activities, readings, and discussions, students will write compositions employing a variety of rhetorical modes. Writing themes will help students to develop a global awareness and critical thinking skills. Reading and writing are approached as an integrated part of an ESL student’s overall English language learning, not as isolated skills.
Prerequisites: ENGL 083, ENGL 084
