In ENGL-087, students will acquire the English language skills needed to write multi-paragraph compositions at a level of correctness and fluency appropriate for an advanced learner of English who will soon enroll in a college composition class.  Readings and discussions will prepare students to write narrative, descriptive, expository and argumentative compositions that reflect critical analysis.  Writing themes will help students to develop a global awareness. Relevant grammatical skills will be developed through formal instruction, group editing and computer-assisted instruction.  Prerequisite:  Appropriate score on English placement tests or completion of ENGL-084.  (4 hours weekly in class and lab)
