    Description
    This is the literacy course in the first level of the ESL accelerated course sequence. Students learn to read and write Basic English. They also learn basic word, phrase, and sentence grammar in a Just-In-Time remediation setting. In addition to reading, writing, and grammar, students learn classroom rules and communication necessary in academic settings. The course is designed to expose the students to all the skills necessary to enter a placement of four semesters below transfer level (ESL 1A), with the possibility of advancing in as little as two further semesters given the acceleration pathway. Pass/No Pass only. Non-degree applicable.
