ESL 091 English as a Second Language I
This course is designed to help non-native speakers of English to become proficient in the use of the English language. Instruction is provided in all the basic skills: listening, comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing. English as a second language courses are required for all non-native speakers of English unless exempted by a proficiency test which will be administered by the TESOL faculty. Students will be placed in the appropriate level of ESL courses through testing administered by the TESOL faculty, and will be assigned work in the classes based on levels of competency in all basic skills. Progress will be monitored through course work and progress exams. Students placed in 091 may progress to credit English classes by demonstrating proficiency in all areas through an exit exam administered by the TESOL faculty or by successfully remediating any areas of weakness as required by the TESOL faculty. Students who cannot successfully complete the exit exam or the remediation must successfully complete 092 before progressing to credit English classes. This course does not count toward graduation requirements, and the grades earned are not included in the grade point average.
