Advanced English Grammar II
This course is intended for students who have reached an advanced level of English but need to further develop and improve their language skills. The focus will be on the difficulties that students are faced with when using the language in written and spoken forms. Students will analyse texts and discover their underlying grammatical systems. Students will focus on form and function as well as error awareness, correction and analysis. While 117 will deal primarily with the following word classes: verbs (including tense formation, grammatical functions and modality), adjectives, adverbs and prepositions in simple sentences, 118 will deal with sentence constituents in complex sentences. Students will be expected to demonstrate their developing grammatical awareness in written work. This course is designed specifically to help students to further develop competency in grammar, vocabulary and modes of written expression under timed conditions. In order to improve their self-editing skills, students will keep a portfolio of their written work.

English and Composition II
ENG 102 develops the academic approach to thinking, reading, speaking, writing and language use begun in ENG 101. In addition, this course aims to develop students’ ability to conduct basic library research and to evaluate and synthesize the information they find.
In the first part of the course, students write one drafted essay based on a mix of sources provided by the instructor and one they locate themselves through library research. Over the course as a whole, students develop an independent research project, working towards a final written research paper. Students develop their speaking skills during an assessed in-course presentation and the end-of-course interview.
To ensure that students have reached an appropriate level of English language and academic skills by the end of ENG 102, they must achieve a grade that contributes to a passing GPA.
Students are required to attend a minimum of 90% of total course hours. Attendance is counted from the first class. Students who exceed the attendance limit will automatically receive an ‘F’ grade for the course.

ENG 101 introduces students to an academic approach to thinking, reading, speaking, writing and language use; skills they will need in their departmental studies. The course also aims to develop students’ linguistic accuracy and range in English.
During ENG 101, students write essays which synthesize and reference readings on topics chosen by the course instructor. Students develop their critical thinking and speaking skills through in-class group work and presentation tasks. ENG 101 has a final exam which assesses reading-into-writing skills.
To ensure that students have reached an appropriate level of English language and academic skills by the end of ENG 101, they must achieve a C grade to pass. If students have a final less than C, they will not be able to continue on to ENG 102 and will have to repeat ENG 101 in the next semester.
