LACR 008 - English as a Second Language II

Prepares students for whom English is a second language to produce the kinds of writing and presentations expected of them on the college level, and to improve their reading and critical thinking skills. This is a two semester requirement. LACR 007 provides review of English grammar, sentence structure, and paragraph development. It focuses primarily on the development of fluency in writing, speaking, listening and reading. The second semester, LACR 008, focuses on the different kinds of prose techniques and on responding in writing to readings and to the work of other students. A workshop format engages students in collaborative learning activities. Credits for LACR 007 or LACR 008 do not count toward graduation. On rare occasions, students may be exempted from LACR 008 by the instructor. LACR 007, 008 are graded on a pass/fail basis. A student who successfully completes the sequence enters LACR 101.
