Class work will consist of pronunciation practice, listening activities, small group and class discussions of selected readings and lectures, oral presentations, and simulations of aspects of academic life. If students place into both a reading and writing course, they are required to take ENGL- 085. Students can be exempted from this requirement by passing an oral exam. Students placed into ENGL-083 AND ENGL-084 must complete both ENGL-083 and ENGL-084 before taking ENGL-085. Books not included.
