Lecture Hours: 2
Lab Hours: 4
This course is designed to teach English-language academic reading and writing skills to students whose first language is other than English and who have at least an intermediate spoken and written skill level in English. This course is the first in a two-semester sequence and is required based on a placement examination and/or for students who have been referred by the English faculty.
Notes: ENG 085 is a credit equivalent course. Equivalent credits do not satisfy degree requirements ad are not calculated in a student’s grade point average, but they do incur tuition charges and they do count toward full-time/part-time status.
Prerequisite(s): Required for students whose native language is other than English, based on placement examination and/or faculty recommendation and open only to them
