Topics in Fundamental English (ENGL 0300)

ENGL 0300 is the first course in which all Basic Education English students will enrol. In this course, students will work with an instructor to identify strengths and gaps in their fundamental reading and writing skills. They will make a learning action plan to address these gaps. Students will also create a portfolio to practice and demonstrate their skills in reading comprehension, vocabulary, sentence writing, and paragraph writing. This portfolio will be used to determine a student's placement in one of the six levels of Basic Education English. Students will also reflect and build on their skills for success as adult learners.
