A course designed for developing listening comprehension and pronunciation skills for ESL students with low intermediate English proficiency. By using tapes of lessons and natural speech, the student should attain accuracy at the sound, word and sentence level. Conversation practice will be based on topical discussions, readings and student debates. This precollege level course cannot be used to fulfill a degree requirement nor is it calculated in a student's Grade Point Average (GPA); however, the credits billed will be applied towards a student's financial aid enrollment status and enrollment status reported to the National Student Clearinghouse.
