    Description
    ESL 045R is an English language course that introduces reading in English to those who have had little or no exposure to the English language. This course utilizes the most frequent words in the English language in discussion as well as books that are specifically selected based on comprehensible (optimum) input so that students with no prior knowledge of English can begin reading on the first day. This course aims to help students develop reading skills in English at the Intermediate Low level according to the ACTFL proficiency guidelines while learning frequent vocabulary. Students will interact with the texts in meaningful and engaging ways. Students are encouraged to take ESL 045 concurrently or before taking ESL 050. Pass/No Pass only. Non-degree applicable.
