ARTS & HUMANITIES DIVISION
DEVED 061
Strategies for Learning English:
Reading • 5 CR
Prepares English-as-a-second-language students
for credit courses by building reading comprehension
skills and vocabulary. Students participate in
listening and speaking activities coordinated with
reading topics. DEVED 061 and 062 are linked and
must be taken at the same time. May be repeated
for a maximum of 15 credits. Prerequisite: Placement
by assessment.
DEVED 062
Strategies for Learning English
through Grammar & Writing • 5 CR
Prepares English-as-a-second-language students
for credit courses by developing grammar and writing
skills at the sentence and paragraph level.
Writing and editing work coordinates with the
reading, speaking, and listening activities in
DEVED 061. DEVED 061 and 062 are linked and
must be taken at the same time. May be repeated
for a maximum of 15 credits.
