    Description
    This is the third semester of the credit ESL academic writing sequence for multilingual writers who need to gain a greater understanding of Academic English. Students write essays in response to culturally diverse readings from a range of college-level texts. The course covers how to develop a thesis statement, how to control the structure of an academic essay, and how to develop details of support through multiple drafts. It focuses on refining academic reading, writing, language, and critical thinking skills with an emphasis on the academic essay. Successful completion allows students to enroll in ESL 90. ESL 80 is CSU and UC transferable.
