    Description
    ESL 122 is the transfer-level English course for non-native speakers designed to enhance critical reading, writing, listening, and speaking through academic inquiry across the disciplines. Based on thematic modules, students analyze and evaluate a variety of texts in response to particular audiences and purposes. Students compose expository and argumentative academic papers and oral presentations, including an extended argument, which synthesized, integrates, and acknowledges multiple sources. Students expand their cultural competence as they analyze text and media on contemporary issues and engage in meaningful dialogue with the instructor, peers, and target audience. They employ effective strategies for producing writing that reflects accuracy and fluency. (C-ID ENGL 100) (CSU/UC) (AA/AS-1A, CSU-A2, IGETC-1A, Cal-GETC-1A)
