This course is a continuation of ESL211 in its approach, focusing on further developing the four language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Additional and more complex grammatical forms will be examined, particularly those which are common in everyday speech and writing but which often prove problematic for even advanced speakers of English as a second language. As with ESL211, practice will take place in a communicative environment. The reading and listening content of ESL212 will focus on English Canadian popular culture, with the intention of providing an introduction to this culture for francophone Quebeckers, exchange students and new canadians. There will continue to be an extensive writing component at this level.
