ELL 001 - ELL Community-Based Level 1

Credits: 1-12
Beginning level community-based English class for ELL students. Students study reading, writing, speaking and listening. This is a pass/no credit course.

Prerequisite: ELL 008 , 009 ; placement test; and instructor’s permission.

Course Outcomes:
Students who successfully complete this class will be able to:

1. Read and comprehend learned words in a few simple phrases and basic personal information slowly and with some effort but with few errors, to independently accomplish simple, well defined, and structured reading activities in a few comfortable and familiar settings.
2. Write individual words, simple phrases and a few very simple sentences slowly and with some effort and some errors. They can independently accomplish simple, well defined, and highly structured writing activities in a few comfortable and familiar settings.
3. Speak learned and rehearsed words and phrases with hesitation and some inaccuracy in a familiar setting with a familiar audience (usually face-to-face with one person). A high level of support is provided (in the form of written, visual, or verbal prompts). Pronunciation may be inaccurate or nonstandard and speech may, at times, be difficult to understand even by a skilled, supportive listener.
4. Comprehend the gist of short, simple conversations and explanations on familiar, learned topics in face-to-face situations when tasks are highly structured and include supports, such as visual cues, pre-learning of new vocabulary and phrases, or collaborative listening. Text is considerably adjusted for listeners who require a slower rate of speech with frequent opportunities for repetition or rephrasing. For English language learners, level of ease and confidence in using English may be low, even in familiar contexts.

*The outcomes will be adjusted in depth and intensity depending on the credits for which the classes are offered. More intensity and depth can include: multi-level cohort activities, class projects, guest speakers, field trips, and expanded language development and application in speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
