    Description
    This course provides an integrated approach to reading and writing for highly advanced English-language learners to prepare them for first-year college English. Students will prepare for college-level work; practice critical reading, writing, and thinking skills; and improve their vocabulary and study skills. Students will also actively engage with their peers, read and interact with a variety of college-level texts, and complete both formal and informal writing assignments connected to these readings. The central focus throughout the course will be on the ways reading and writing inform each other. The course will also cover grammar concepts and revision and editing methods specific to English-language learners.
