Class Description: ESL 011 is a grammar-based conversation course in an English-only environment designed for the beginning ESL student. Listening comprehension and speaking skills will be developed through basic dialogues, modeled tasks, and communicative activities.

Objectives: Through various speaking and listening exercises, students will:

• Create and present short dialogs with new vocabulary and grammar.

• Improve listening skills.

• Learn new words.

• Improve pronunciation.

• Show competency with verb tenses.

• Practice the modal verb “can”; prepositions of time and location.

• Show competency with different types of nouns and pronouns.

Attendance: You WILL be dropped after your 3rd absence. I will take role at the beginning and at the end of class. If you are more than 15 minutes late, you will be marked late. Three tardies equal one absence. If you come in late, do not interrupt the class. Come in and find your seat quietly. NOTE: It is YOUR DECISION AND RESPONSIBILITY to drop using WebSTAR. The last day to drop without a “W” is November 12th. If you have 3 absences after the last day to drop with a “W”, you will receive an “F” for your semester grade.

Grades: Your grades will be calculated on the following basis:

Workbook and Homework 20%

Oral presentations 20%

Quizzes 30%

Final Exam 30%

90 + = A 80-89 = B 70-79 = C 60-69 = D 59 - = F

Make-Ups: You have the opportunity to make up 2 regular quizzes that you missed during the semester. You must come to the teacher’s office hours or make an appointment to make up the quizzes. You have only 1 week from the date of the quiz to make up the quiz. NO late homework will be accepted.
