THE ENGLISH FOUNDATION PROGRAM<br />

<strong>Catalog</strong> <strong>2006</strong>-07<br />

<strong>The</strong> English Foundation Program at <strong>The</strong> <strong>American</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Paris</strong>, created for students whose mother tongue is not English, is<br />

a one- or two-semester curriculum designed to help students integrate into a new academic system.<br />

First semester, students take:<br />

■ EN 003 Intensive Writing<br />

■ EN 060 English Grammar Review<br />

■ EnglishBridge<br />

EnglishBridge is composed <strong>of</strong> two linked courses that may be from a variety <strong>of</strong> subject areas critical to a liberal arts education.<br />

Students begin to understand how different subject areas see a given problem in different ways while they develop the language<br />

skills they need to function in an English-speaking classroom environment.<br />

Second semester, students take:<br />

■ EN 001 Advanced Intensive Writing<br />

■ Other classes to be chosen with the help <strong>of</strong> the student's advisor<br />

<strong>The</strong> English Foundation Program is tailored to students' preparation levels. Freshman and Transfer placements into Tracks One<br />

and Two are made during the admissions process. Freshman and Transfer placements into Tracks Three and Four are made according<br />

to a placement test taken during Orientation. Students may also be placed at intermediate stages in these tracks.<br />

<strong>The</strong> first year <strong>of</strong> the English Foundation Program must be completed successfully (with an overall grade average <strong>of</strong> “C”) before<br />

students are allowed to proceed further into their academic curriculum. Students earning less than a grade <strong>of</strong> “C” must repeat the<br />

courses in which their grade was below C. If language skills are not yet adequate at the end <strong>of</strong> the semester, the student<br />

may choose to repeat elements <strong>of</strong> the program. Please note: EN courses below EN 110 receive elective credit, <strong>of</strong> which 15<br />

credits may be applied toward the student's degree.<br />
