A general description
of the English Language Program
For admission to every course in the English Language Program
written permission is required. Even if you are able to register
online, you must get written permission BEFORE the first class.
Get written permission BEFORE you register online. WARNING:
The number of students in each course is limited. To ensure
admission into a course, get your written permission before
the limit is reached.
Make sure that your language skills are sufficient
for successful completion of the ELP course that you want to
take. In principle, you should have taken the ELP course preceding
the ELP course that you want to enter. (For example, a student
who wants to take English 3 should have taken English 2, because
in English 3 we learn how to write multi-paragraph essays and
in English 2 we learn the basics skills for writing a paragraph.)
If you used another method to acheive the skills for your desired
course, you need not have taken the preceding course.
Successful completion of any ELP course requires
at least 8 hours of study outside class in a week. A written
assignment or a study assignment is given almost every class;
a quiz is usually given on study assignments.
Grading and fulfillment of course requirements:
For English 1 through 4, your performance record (scores on
written assignments and quizzes) is around 50% of your semester
grade. (Written assignments are scored for quality.) Your attendance
record is around 10% of your semester grade. The mid-term exam
and final exam comprise 40% of your final grade. (For English
1 through 6: Keep in mind that NO SPECIAL CONSIDERATION--e.g.,
"makeup work" to satisfy attendance requirements--will
be given if you stop attending before the end of a course.)

Robert MacPherson, John Holstein
|
Prerequisite: English Language Practicum 2
While continuing with development
of language skills and learning strategies covered in ELP
courses 1 and 2, this course (which meets 4 hours per week)
shifts emphasis from sentence-level to discussion-level
language production (including development of strategies
for spoken discourse). Academic written composition is at
the level of the multi-paragraph essay; skill in paragraph-level
academic composition is therefore required for attendance
in this course. This course covers units 1 through 5 in
Developing Reading Skills: Advanced, and units 6
through 10 in You're in Charge. (Required class materials:
Developing Reading Skills: Advanced, 2nd Edition;
You're in Charge; English Communication Skills 3.)

Robert MacPherson, John Holstein

Prerequisite: Advanced English skills in speaking, listening,
writing, reading.
This course is an extension of
International English Skills: 1, and thus has the same general
goals. It meets 3 hours per week (in two meetings). Unlike
IES:1, training is not provided for letter reports or telephone
skills. While IES: 1 focuses on negotiations between two
teams, this course focuses on teams working to solve simulated
problems in organizations. (Required class materials: Internaitonal
