| Competency in English requires the development of reading, writing,
speaking and listening skills. Courses offered seek to enhance students’
abilities in these areas. The selection of materials attempts to
serve students’ interests and comprehension. Because of the
complexity of the world, the English Department maintains a solid
but flexible program “to prepare each individual to meet the
changing problems of living by training the individuals to think
critically, to recognize opinion, to make judgments based upon humanitarian
principles, to maintain a positive attitude, and to have a feeling
of achievement.”
All students are required to take four blocks of traditional English
courses. Students who have a particular interest area may take additional
elective courses.
For example, CP Reading and Writing enhances writing and reading
skills for college work.
• Students will not take English 2 until they pass English
1.
• Students will not take English 3 until they pass English
1 and 2.
• Students will not take English 4 until they pass English
1, 2, and 3.
• Students will not take two core English classes in a semester.
Students may simultaneously take a core English and an elective.
• Students who take ESL, this course fulfills a core English
requirement.
