Academic Reading and Study Skills II

Catalog description

This class is for international students who need to develop their reading skills from B2 to B2+ proficiency as defined in CEFR, which describes one’s ability at this level to “read articles and reports concerned with contemporary problems in which the writers adopt particular attitudes or viewpoints,” with an increasing ability to interpret nuanced arguments and effectively emphasize those nuances in their responses. Students in this course will apply appropriate reading and vocabulary-building techniques to college-level content texts and respond critically to what they read in both written and oral forms.
