ELLA 1030

This course is designed to support advanced level non-native English-speaking students to meet the language demands of first-year Canadian college courses. Students will focus on how language is used to communicate meaning and develop critical thinking skills for effective academic reading and writing. Instruction will emphasize understanding multiple perspectives in academic texts, addressing prompts accurately, developing a sense of audience, and producing clear and concise language in writing assignments, such as paragraphs, essays, and/or reports. The focus of the course is on refining the skills needed by writers who learned English as an additional language.
