The third course in the study of English listening and speaking skills designed for students whose first language is other than English. The course further develops and adds to skills learned in ESL 101. The course includes high-intermediate listening comprehension practice as well as discussion and presentation skills in spoken English in both academic and vocational environments.

Students will practice skills learned in ESL 103, learn and use new vocabulary, and practice academic skills such as close reading and listening, note taking, analyzing and classifying, using outside resources and problem solving.

ESL 104 is a wonderful class for practicing the Englsih skills you have learned. The class gives you an opportunity to improve conversation skills to help you in school and work, note taking skills to help improve your grades, and speaking skills for those academic oral reports as well as for job interviews.

It is very important to come to this class prepared - that means you must always bring your textbook and materials AND you MUST speak Englsih during the entire class period.

The more you practice listening, speaking and thinking in English, the easier it will be for you to achieve your goals.

If you have questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact me. And, welcome to class!
