ESL 073 Beginners Writing

2 credit hours

This course reinforces Reading 071. Toward the beginning of the course, students learn the alphabet and transcribe words from simple dictation. Students learn to read aloud. As in reading 071, students play word games that help them learn simple, important everyday questions and how to answer the same. In some activities, students work in small groups and interview one another. As the term progresses, students begin to compose compositions from models made available to them. The course includes fundamental practice with simple description in the present tense.
