Reason for Revisions or Inactivation of Course:
The course is being reactivated to provide ESL-specific support to students to prepare them for English 1A.
Two of the previous prerequisites, ESL 172 and ESL 152 are being removed, while ESL 192 will remain as the only prerequisite
to ESL 195. ESL 172 focuses on metalinguistic awareness of language structure and does not correspond to the ability to write
error-free English prose, so the prerequisite did not serve the purpose of preparing students for ESL 195. The reading skills
developed by ESL 152 are a subset of the reading skills developed by ESL 192. ESL 192 also emphasizes analysis of rhetorical
strategies and discourse-level language, which are the entry-level skills required for success in ESL 195.
For all course revisions, except AA/AS Degree and Transfer revisions, please attach the following items:
