Overview

Course description
This course is an adjunct course for EASL students enrolled in Psychology 1100. Students will develop language and study skills to support their Psychology 1100 coursework. Activities will help students perform the reading and writing tasks required to do well on tests and satisfactorily complete course assignments, such as research reports. Class activities will also assist students in improving listening and speaking skills to participate effectively in Psychology 1100 lecture and presentation components.
Course content

The language content will be derived from the Psychology course content and requirements, and sequenced    

accordingly:

        - Psychology 1100 textbook and other course materials, including assignments.

        - Psychology 1100 lectures

        - reading, writing, speaking and listening tasks and support material relevant to the objectives listed above.

Learning activities

The instructor will facilitate, observe and evaluate students' participation in learning activities which directly support their Psychology 1100 coursework. Whole and small group instruction will be combined with individual assistance and student directed learning.

Means of assessment

A mastery model of on-going evaluation will be used. A student will reach mastery when s/he has demonstrated through satisfactory completion of exercises, assignments and other assessments that the course objectives have been achieved.

Where formal tests of specific skills are used, mastery will be defined as a score of 70% or more.

Progress will be monitored on a regular basis by the instructor in consultation with each student.

Evaluation in EASL 0491 will not be tied to students' achievement in Psychology 1100.
