ELL 0790 - Preparing for College Writing
Credits: 4
ELL 0790 is the beginning developmental writing course for non-native speakers of academic English. Entry into the course is based on the student’s score on the Accuplacer ESL test. The goal of the class is to introduce all the skills and habits necessary for success in ELL 0850 and, eventually, ENGL 1121 . This course begins to prepare students for college writing in the United States and provides students with opportunities to develop confidence, competence, and fluency through frequent practice. It also introduces idioms, audience awareness, sentence and punctuation strategies, paragraph structure, and essay development. In addition to the regular class meeting times, students are required to attend weekly supplemental instruction sessions. They are also strongly encouraged to participate in the Conversation Partners Program or an equivalent speech-improvement program.
