ESL 56

Intermediate-Mid Integrated Reading, Listening, and Speaking

This intermediate-mid level integrated-skills course for non-native speakers of English, along with ESL 55, is an accelerated pathway to complete 50-level coursework in reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. This course integrates two existing courses, ESLL 50 (Intermediate-Mid Listening and Speaking) and ESLR 50 (Intermediate-Mid Reading), and includes listening and reading comprehension strategies, oral skills for discussing ideas from reading and listening passages, and application of critical thinking skills, vocabulary, and pronunciation in oral discussions. Completion of this course is equivalent to completion of both ESLL 50 and ESLR 50 and serves as a prerequisite to ESLL 310 and ESLR 310. This course is not open to students who have completed ESLL 50 and/or ESLR 50.
