This course is a continuation of ESL-306A Advanced Core Literacy A, an advanced level (CEFR B2 to B2+) reading and writing course for English learners. The learning outcomes for reading focus on the comprehension of linguistically complex academic texts with an emphasis on academic reading skills such as analyzing and synthesizing information from different sources, identifying rhetorical features (e.g., author, audience, and purpose), and expanding academic vocabulary in a variety of academic disciplines. The learning outcomes for writing target using cohesive devices, integrating ideas from source texts, and avoiding plagiarism, culminating in the development of academic essays and the composition of an academically formatted research paper. The course meets six (6) clock hours per week.
