Modular ESL (English as a Second Language). 1-

Catalog description

Modular ESL is a one-to-six credit course which prepares non-native English speakers for success at Husson University through the completion of assignments in some or all of six different areas of Academic English: Oral & Aural English, Reading & Writing, Grammar, Vocabulary, Language Pragmatics, and Academic Thinking. The number of credits a student must take is determined by writing, vocabulary, listening, and speaking tests. One credit-hour is equivalent to 40 unit-hours of independent study, work with the teacher, and occasional collaborative in-class work. These tests are also used to determine what portion of the unit hours must be spent on assignments in each of the six areas of study and which specific assignments may be required. The course does not count towards the degree. A minimum grade of C is required.
