This course is designed to help non-native English speakers to acquire the college-level writing and language skills they will need for academic success. They will learn to produce essays that are clear, concise, and unified. The writing process and language skills at the advanced level are emphasized. Students write papers both out of class and in class. At least one paper requires outside sources and documentation. Near the end of the course, students will complete a final timed in-class essay which will be evaluated by the English faculty to assess the writer’s preparedness to move on to other college-level writing courses. This course satisfies the ENG 101 basic communication requirement.
Prerequisites
