| Course Description: | ESL 50 is a one-unit class to help ESL students practice English by using computers and the Internet. |
| Course Objectives: | The goal of this class is for students to feel confident in using computers to improve their English skills. Of course, each student may be at a different level in computer knowledge and/or in English, but everyone should see an improvement in their own abilities by the end of the semester. |
| Textbook And Materials: | - Internet
Activity Workbook by Dave Sperling - one or two 3 1/2” High Density Diskettes - a notebook tablet |
| Homework: | You will have homework from each class meeting. You can use the computers in the Language Lab or the Computer Lab to do your work. You may also work at home if you have a computer and Internet service. No late homework will be accepted. If you are absent, it is your responsibility to show me your homework immediately when you return so you don't lose points. Always bring all your book, notes and papers to each class meeting. |
| Attendance: | This class meets only once a week and only 14 times, so you must be here every |
| Working Together: | Every one of you has a different experience level in working with computers. It is impossible for me to help all of you 100% of the time, so please work together and help each other as much as possible. Also, you need to get other students' phone numbers so if you are absent, you can hear what you missed. |
| Course Grades: | At the beginning of the semester, all of you will have 100 points -- you need 70 points (a "C" average) to pass.
