    Description
    ESL 122 is the transfer-level English course designed for advanced, non-native speakers to develop college-level critical reading, writing, and thinking skills and to enhance fluid listening and speaking through academic inquiry across the disciplines. Students analyze and evaluate a variety of texts in response to particular audiences and purposes. They study composition and rhetoric to craft accurate and fluent expository, analytical, and argumentative academic papers and oral presentations, including an extended argument, which synthesizes, integrates, and acknowledges multiple sources. Students expand their cultural competence through discussion and analysis of diverse media addressing contemporary issues and engage in meaningful dialogue with the instructor, peers, and target audience.
