This is a high intermediate level writing with grammar course for non-native speakers of English. Focus is on the use of high intermediate grammar in the writing of well-organized paragraphs towards the writing of multi-paragraph narrative and expository essays which include a thesis, body and conclusion. Emphasis is placed on further development of applying the steps of the writing process, responding to level-appropriate readings using quotation, and using self-correction strategies. It includes introduction to critical thinking skills in English. This course requires work in a computer lab during class. PLEASE NOTE: This is a developmental course and DOES NOT carry graduation credit. It is NOT usually transferable. Since developmental courses are mandated, students who do not meet the exit criteria with a grade of C or higher for ESL will be required to repeat them.
