ELL 092: Reading and Interpretation in Academic Setting

5 Cr
Quarters: O
This course offers non-native speakers of English opportunities to study standard English in an academic setting. The course allows the students to reactivate the English they have learned previously and to further develop their target language skills and abilities, to learn more about the target language and cultures, to acquire English literacy and academic skills, and to enhance and further both their career and their educational opportunities. The emphasis, however, will be on reading and interpreting academic English.
Prerequisite: This course is open to those students whose first language is not English and who have learned English outside the home environment. They must be able to speak English with a certain degree of accuracy and be able to satisfy the requirements of everyday situations. They will be required to take a reading and grammar placement examination given by the instructor.
