ESL/English 10
This is the foundational academic English reading and writing course. Instruction begins with the word -- vocabulary -- and sentence --grammar -- and moves into academic organization of paragraph and essay. Students practice academic response paragraphs, as well as rhetorical thesis-driven essays in specific and extended examples, compare/contrast, and process modes. Reading begins at each student’s level and also includes critical reading of poetry, analysis of literary film, and, near the end of term, short stories. Academic conversation, pronunciation, and listening are fostered.
