The class is designed to introduce students to
reading and writing skills, Mary Lucas, instructor
said. It shoLild be of interest to anyone who wishes
to study reading and grammar at a beginning level,
she noted.
The aim of the class is to help students progress
in English skills to a functional level. The class
includes basic letter sound patterns, sight word
vocabulary development, sentence structure
patterns, spelling, beginning grammar, and
survival skills, Lucas said.
"It is an appropriate class for Americans who
wish to learn to read and write and for residents for
whom English is a second language and who are
beginning to acquire English reading skills," she
said.
"We want the community to know about these
courses because of the national emphasis being
placed on literacy.”
Anyone wanting enrollment information may
call the Continuing Education Office, 733 7392.
Origially 13 telecourses were offered for fall, but Story of
English was cancelled due to lack of enrollment, Britton
said. "The course was really too specialized," he said.
Of the 12 remaining courses offered, Biology,
Government, American History, Management and
Introduction to Data Processing are the most popular, he
said.
The telecourses will not change for spring semester,
Britton said.
“The only difference will be that the Management course
will be aired on Channel 13 instead of English Comp. 1, but
the same courses will be offered.”
