    Description
    This noncredit ESL course is mirrored to the credit course ESL 28-Academic Vocabulary Skills. This course is designed for noncredit students who wish to transition to credit coursework and develop their techniques for understanding academic vocabulary and using English words idiomatically. It emphasizes context and usage of vocabulary from the Academic Word List (Coxhead 2000) or a similar corpus. Students will learn to comprehend and use approximately 200 words from the AWL to improve their reading comprehension, speaking, listening, and writing skills for academic success.
