ELCA 401 - Writing and Grammar for Academic Purposes Level 4 (Full Semester)

(3.00)
The reading and composition courses offered at level 4 focus on the connection between academic reading and writing for upper-intermediate level ESL students. ELC 041  /ELCA 401  andELC 042  /ELCA 402 are taught together. These courses partially satisfy conditional admission to UMBC and are a prerequisite for ENGL 110  . To completely satisfy conditional admission and to take ENGL 110  , students must also complete the next set of courses,ELC 051  /ELCA 501 and ELC 052  /ELCA 502. In the writing component, students are introduced to the process approach for composition. Through brainstorming, free writing, preparing drafts, peer review and instructor feedback, students develop their English writing skills in order to write summaries and informative and persuasive essays. Written assignments provide opportunities to respond to readings while practicing writing skills. This course is repeatable a maximum of 9 credits or 3 attempts.
