The course will provide instructional opportunities for recent immigrant students with limited English proficiency. Through comprehensible input, students will accelerate second language acquisition and will be challenged to apply higher order thinking skills in all four language domains. Emphasis is placed on word recognition, vocabulary, comprehension strategies and fluency in order to provide students opportunities to listen, speak, read, and write with confidence. This course must be taken concurrently with a co-requisite language arts course. This course is designed for beginning to intermediate English-speaking students with less than 3 years in the US.
