ESL-0102 English as a Second Language: Intermediate II

ESL 0102 is the third writing course in the English as a Second Language reading/writing series.  It is for non-native English speakers whose academic writing ability is at the intermediate level.  In this course, students continue to produce original writing at the sentence level, using advanced grammar structures. Students develop precision as well as coherence in their written expression by using modal verb forms, the passive voice, conditional expressions, and complex sentences with relative clauses.  Additionally, students continue to use the writing process by editing sentence level errors in target grammar and mechanics.
