Oral Communication I for International Students

Catalog description

Oral Communication I for International Students: This course develops the academic English listening and speaking skills of non-native English speakers who may not be ready for full-time university coursework in their major fields of study through the practice of realistic academic English listening and speaking tasks, the investigation of how spoken English is used differently with different audiences and for different purposes, and an exploration of the effective use of English to navigate the institution. Placement is determined by diagnostic listening and speaking tests. The course does not count towards the degree. A minimum grade of C is required.
