OPIE D600 - PreAcademic Core Skills
A 12 contact-hour CORE component of a full-time (20 hours/week) course of study in English as a second language for students preparing for academic study in an American university. Students incorporate understanding of grammatical structures, appropriate vocabulary, and organization into formally developed essays. More emphasis is placed on rhetorical modes and developing editing skills. Students increase their ability to use a variety of grammatical patterns and structures to express original ideas, to edit written text, and to paraphrase, summarize, and synthesize information and ideas in order to perform extended academic tasks orally and in writing. Reading comprehension and lexical skill development is emphasized along with the improvement of reading rate. Students learn to synthesize the various skills and strategies to which they have been exposed. Listening and speaking skill activities rely more heavily on academic task simulations and university-level expectations.
