ESL: Academic Purposes Level IV Reading

Students learning English at level 4 of English language proficiency will read in English to prepare for later academic reading assignments. They will read authentic short stories and essays and adapted non-fiction articles, learn word forms and parts of speech, learn to use a monolingual dictionary, scan and skim texts for information, and use contextual clues to find meanings of new vocabulary. Practice includes both oral and written work related to texts and new vocabulary.
