Academic Reading and Study Skills

Catalog description

This class is for international students who need to develop their reading skills from B1+ 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.” Students in this course will practice a variety of reading and vocabulary-building techniques when engaging with college-level content texts. Students will also exercise their critical-thinking skills to interpret implied meanings of texts and respond to what they read in written and oral forms.
