    Description
    This course focuses on the needs of multilingual students at the high-intermediate level to help them strengthen their academic reading, writing, and study skills. The course emphasizes vocabulary expansion and context clues, strategies for reading, comprehending, summarizing, and responding to college-level texts. Following the steps of the writing process, students will also continue to refine their knowledge of paragraph writing and work towards composing thesis-driven essays in response to ideas from readings, topics covered in class, and personal experience. Language instruction focuses on strengthening understanding of grammar and on individual proofreading and editing skills. While this course emphasizes the combination of reading and writing, the course also emphasizes study skills, campus resources, and the norms of the American college classroom.
