How are the ESL writing courses different from the writing courses for native speakers of English?
• The ESL writing courses are designed to meet the specific language needs of people who grew up using a language other than English at home. The specially-trained ESL writing teachers provide one-on-one instruction for non-native speakers of English. In the ESL writing courses, you will learn the same kinds of college writing skills that native speakers of English learn in their college writing courses, but you will get additional ESL language instruction that is not available in the writing courses designed for native speakers of English. Non-native speakers of English often have difficulty passing the English courses designed for native speakers of English because they need instruction on specific language problems. • You need to take the ESL-PIC test, even if you have already taken the EPT, to see which ESL writing course is right for you.
