This course is an intensive 4-credit hour course that meets 2.5 hours per week, with critical reading, discussion, writing, and analysis of texts, images, and films as its components. It is an academic reading-writing course, designed for the undergraduate non-native speakers of English (NNS) writers; however, interested graduate students are also welcome to enroll. The students who enroll must have achieved, at least, an advanced level of English language proficiency.
