| Competency in English requires the development of reading,
writing, speaking and listening skills. Courses offered seek to
enhance students’ abilities in these areas. The selection
of materials attempts to serve students’ interests
and comprehension.
Because of the complexity of the world, the English Department maintains
a solid but flexible program “to prepare each individual to
meet the changing problems of living by training the individuals
to think critically, to recognize opinion, to make judgments based
upon
humanitarian principles,
to maintain a positive attitude, and to have a feeling of achievement.”
All students are required to take four blocks of traditional English
courses. Students who have a particular interest area may take additional
elective courses.
For example, ENR Reading and Writing enhances writing and reading
skills for college work.
• Students will not take English 2 until they pass English
1.
• Students will not take English 3 until they pass English
1 and 2.
• Students will not take English 4 until they pass English
1, 2, and 3.
• Students will not take two core English classes in a semester.
Students may simultaneously take a core English and an elective.
• Students who take ESL, this course fulfills a core English
requirement.
