What is the difference between native and non-native speaker sections of EngC writing courses?
All sections of EngC writing courses have similar criteria and standards, but we have developed special sections to help address your unique writing needs and background. In general, we cover the same type of material and have the same number of assignments, but we spend more time in class discussing the various issues that are unique to second language writers. Some of these issues includethe following: grammar problems, cultural differences, and American audience expectations in writing. Every teacher for a non-native speaker section has a master’s degree in ESL/Linguistics in addition to extensive training in teaching writing to second language writers. We are able to provide more teacher contact with students by offering slightly smaller class sizes in these special sections.
