Year Level: 1
EELC131/132 are two semester courses. These courses build upon interaction and study skills/strategies taught at previous levels while focusing on improved use of English for academic purposes. An effort will be made to conduct needs analyses and work with learners to identify individual language learning needs and the types of language tasks expected in their academic work. When possible, content- or theme-based approaches will be used to link English language improvement to other coursework. Language teaching and learning will focus on cognitive-academic language proficiency while continuing to improve informal and formal use of English by students.
