Our class will focus on improving academic skills critical for success in mainstream content courses. Many of our assignments will require reading, analysis, writing, and one to one assessments that you can schedule individually. Our class content is organized in modules; there is one module for each week, and each week will cover a different topic. Our course is designed to require 10 hours of work per week. 

By the end of this class, you should be able to 

• Use a variety of beginning academic reading and vocabulary development strategies to interpret literary and informational texts.

• Compose paragraphs using beginning academic writing strategies, language structures, and vocabulary.

• Employ beginning academic listening and speaking strategies to participate in academic settings.

• Identify and use college resources to support academic work.
