    Description
    ESL 105 is an English language development course for non-native speakers of English at the advanced level. This course further develops the skills taught in ESL 098 including academic and non-academic reading, writing, listening, speaking and grammar skills through the exploration of genre-based thematic units. Students will examine the features of a variety of texts in authentic and adapted form in order to develop genre awareness and apply this knowledge to new reading and writing opportunities. Students will read and analyze authentic and adapted texts as models for their own writing and speaking practice. Students will expand their cultural competence as they analyze texts and engage in cross-cultural communication with instructor and peers.
