CORE 4

The goal of this course is for high-intermediate students to develop their academic reading and writing skills. Level 4 Core provides students with intensive practice in drafting, revising, and editing essays in common academic genres such as argument, process, classification, and compare/contrast. This course also builds critical reading strategies and addresses grammatical structures and vocabulary used in academic writing. The course is designed to help build critical skills that will transfer to courses in the Patriot Plus Program and beyond. Special emphasis will be placed on how writing leads to knowledge acquisition, transformation, and creation. Students will learn about and experiment with a range of reading and writing strategies as they work to discover their own optimal approach to learning. Successful completion of this level (minimum overall average 80% in classes: Level 4 Core + Level 4 OCS + Elective) is required before matriculating the Patriot Plus Program.
