English 51 and English 52 Classes & Instructors
Students are invited to enroll in the English 51 or English 52 Basic
Writing Skills classes. Taught by an instructor, students receive
individualized or group help in writing, spelling, and vocabulary.
Instructors develop specialized programs tailored to meet students’
individualized writing concerns.
- English 51 is offered for .5 unit, and students are
required to spend 8 classroom hours in a small-group instructional
setting (no more than 10 students per hour); they must also complete
8 classroom hours working on English 51 assigned writing activities
in the EWC.
- English 52 is offered for 1 unit, and students are required to
spend 16 classroom hours in a small-group instructional setting (no
more than 10 students per hour); they must also complete 16
classroom hours working on English 52 assigned writing activities in
the EWC.
Other information about the English 51 and English 52 classes:
- This is a small group or individualized program to help students
improve their writing skills. Topics can address the writing
process, punctuation and grammar, vocabulary, spelling, or any
combination thereof. In addition, the class might address ESL
writing problems.
- These classes are for students who need additional help to meet
the challenge of writing in their other classes. The typical English
51 or English 52 student needs scheduled and continual help from an
instructor as opposed to help from a peer tutor who provides drop-in
and occasional help.
- Both courses are repeatable and are open entry and open exit.
- Throughout the day, different English 51 and English 52
instructors are present during the EWC’s open hours.
- In the class schedule, the class is designated as “TBA,” which
means “to be arranged,” whereby a student sets up an arranged class
time with one of the instructors. After the initial orientation,
students attend this class at the time arranged with the instructor.
This arranged time will be recorded in an appointment book. The
student must meet with the instructor at this designated time and
meet with only the instructor with whom the appointment is made.
