    Description
    This course is designed for non-native English learners advancing their proficiency in academic reading and writing. Students critically analyze a range of college-level texts and literary sources that provide varying perspectives on language and culture and how these perspectives shape one's perception of the world. Students research and synthesize these ideas into well-developed, objective and subjective written responses using a variety of rhetorical strategies and devices. Research strategies, academic vocabulary, appropriate language conventions, and integration of sources are also covered. Successful completion prepares students to enroll in ENGL C1000 or C1000H.
