Reason for Modification:

Four new non-credit ESL courses will be created to replace six of the current noncredit ESL Life Skills courses: ESL 777, 778, 779, 780, 781, and 782. Creating these four courses will eliminate repetition between the Credit and Noncredit ESL programs. The first two courses will teach survival level English skills, while the other two courses will teach basic English grammar and study skills within the context of community-based themes. In addition, the latter two courses will prepare noncredit students for transfer into the credit program, thereby creating a smoother transition between the two programs.

Item 1. Statement of Program Goals and Objectives (Program Learning Outcomes):

Students completing the program will:

1). Request very basic services within the context of the life skills topics covered

2). Make simple present and present continuous affirmative and negative oral and written statements

within the context of the life-skills topics covered.

3). Read very simple paragraphs and do very simple guided writing exercises using the vocabulary

related to the life-skills topics covered.

4). Pronounce and spell the names of objects, people, places and activities within the context of the life

skills topics covered.

5). Use subject, object and demonstrative pronouns, possessive adjectives, the structures can and

have to, simple nouns, basic prepositions, adjectives, frequency adverbs and the interrogatives: when,

where, why, how, who, whose and what.     

Item 2. Catalog Description of the Program:

required for the eventual fulfillment of personal, vocational, academic, and citizenship for participation in American society.
