ESL 42A - Introduction to Reading and Vocabulary Building

0 units
5 hours lecture
Recommended Preparation: qualification by assessment

This is an introductory course designed to transfer literacy in the first language to English by building basic reading skills and expanding vocabulary. Through the use of reading texts, reading kits, main idea exercises, and skimming and scanning activities, the foundation skills are developed through regular application. The aim of the course is to identify and reinforce good reading habits and to free students from over-dependence on dictionaries with a focus on context as key to meaning. The content of ESL 42A, a noncredit course, is identical to the content of ESL 52A, a credit course. ESL 42A shall be offered with ESL 52A as a dualroster course.
