Students will focus on grammar, composition, vocabulary building, in-class (timed) writing, as well as research writing and documentation of sources. A secondary focus of this course is the practice of listening and speaking skills in English: students will learn lecture note-taking strategies and will have opportunities to practice contributing to discussion and making short presentations in English. Students who select LBST 1B12 ESL, will be students whose first language is not English and need additional time and support to complete the first-year writing requirement. |
