Basic Academic Writing in ESL

This nine-hour course is comprised of two components: a six-hour intensive ESL writing component and a three-hour language workshop. Students will continue to develop their ability to write narrative, descriptive, and expository essays, with special emphasis on argumentation and comparison/contrast. Basic verb tenses and grammatical structures will be reviewed and reinforced and use of more complex tenses and grammatical points will be introduced. Students in Language Workshop II will be responsible for planning and producing creative collaborative projects such as original plays and/or magazines.
