33708 ESL 182: Intermediate Academic ESL

The course is online with required CityZoom meetings from 6:10-9 PM every Tuesday.
Official description from the CCSF Catalog: [This course provides] "Training and practice in intermediate reading and writing, with emphasis on language structure and vocabulary development for non-native speakers of English. Practice in reading passages from informational and literary texts to support written work. Practice in a variety of writing tasks. Intermediate language skills integrated on the basis of academic tasks and content.
In my experience, the course requires the development of skills such as reading, writing and grammar skills that students will use in other classes. Most students are able to put this information into use as they learn it, so the work for this class improves their performance in their other classes by improving their ability to use English.
Here is the Syllabus for this section of ESL 182.
