ESL 6150 Research Writing for Non-Native English Speakers
This course expands the international student’s writing preparation on previous ESL courses to prepare international students for research level writing requirements. It will focus on augmenting research skills, critical reading skills, and advanced writing skills through the preparation of a research paper based upon in-depth analysis of scholarly sources. The course will emphasize the proper use and formatting of sources according to APA style guidelines. It will also identify the most common grammatical and mechanical errors made by ESL students while providing opportunities to correct these errors through in-class exercises, homework, and quizzes. Please note the minimum passing grade is a "B". This course is required of graduate level international students as part of the ESL program. Students who receive a waiver for any or all of the other four ESL courses may still be required by their college to complete ESL 6150 during their first semester.
