    Description
    (Advisory: ESL/N 083 and ESL/N 086.) This course, for bilingual/non-native English speakers, prepares students for success in college-level reading and writing tasks. Students practice reading, writing, grammar skills and critical thinking to improve reading comprehension and develop skills for effective academic writing. The focus is on writing fluently, using effective organizational structures, and developing ideas with support, using the conventions of standard written English. Assignments help explore connections among readings, personal experience, observation, and class discussion. Requires one hour weekly of guided practice in the Writing Center or the ESL Lab.
