ESL 090D Vocabulary Development

In this workshop course, non-native English speakers develop fundamental vocabulary words in order to use these words in everyday conversations. Much of class time is spent discussing readings that use new vocabulary as well as practicing strategies to learn vocabulary meanings beyond just the dictionary definition. Weekly homework exercises drawing upon such readings as well as vocabulary quizzes and vocabulary logs are key assignments for this class.
