| This course prepares non-native speakers of English for college composition through extensive writing practice and the review of grammatical principles. Students use existing skills in sentence writing to construct coherent, well-supported paragraphs. Strategies of exposition are introduced, and multi-paragraph essays, often in response to readings, are written as a vehicle to identify and reduce individual ESL errors. Special emphasis is placed on proofreading and editing to ensure clear, idiomatic use of standard American English. Grammar skills of special importance to ESL students are stressed through exercises and remedial lab work. Students who have completed EAP0440C must successfully complete EAP1840 before taking ENC1101. |
