    Description
    ESL 088L is a beginning-level course designed to improve the listening and speaking skills needed for cross-cultural understanding and successful interaction in college and everyday life. Listening comprehension of American English is improved through guided practice in a variety of genres, including class lectures, video and live presentations, interviews and conversations. Students increase accuracy and fluency in their spoken communication as they improve their pronunciation and intonation. Both listening and speaking skills are greatly enhanced through the learning of grammar and vocabulary. Additionally, students grow in their cultural competence as they examine texts and media and interact with peers and the instructor in a multicultural class. This course is offered on a Pass/No Pass basis only. (Nondegree non-credit course).
