tenses, question forms, nouns and pronouns, and
expressions of time and number in both written and
oral form.

EASL 016 - FUNDAMENTAL WRITING

This course provides students who speak English

as an additional language with instruction and
opportunities to write at a fundamental level.
Students use and practice the verb forms studied in
Grammar courses in their writing assignments and
learn to use basic sentence and paragraph structure.
Students begin to use fundamental components of the
writing process to write about personal and familiar
topics. Students use the computer lab for some class
work and keep weekly journals to write about their
experiences.

This course helps students who speak English as an
additional language to improve their understanding
of English through reading at a fundamental
