Remedial English
|
0 |
|
| Remedial English (E10032100) is a three-hour non-credited English course offered to students
who score poorly (i.e. below 50%) on the placement test. Since the major concern of this course
is to improve the students? proficiency before starting their ordinary university English basic
courses and major courses taught in English, special emphasis has been placed on enhancing the
students? ability to effectively acquire the four language skills: reading, writing, listening, and
speaking. Specifically, the course attempts to ensure an academically acceptable performance on
the part of the students at the level of the English basic courses. Moreover, the course aims at
expanding students? vocabulary needed for various tasks. |
