English 41 and English 51 are courses designed to
accommodate the needs of the ESL learner. The guidelines for English
40 and English 50 are followed in these courses, but in the ESL
writing classroom there are cross-cultural implications both of what
it means to do academic work and also what it means to share
historical and cultural knowledge. Oral participation is encouraged
as a way of promoting fluency and enhancing comfort with
participation in American academic settings. Classes are smaller
than in English 40 and 50. Additionally, teachers spend
extended time in tutorial conferences.
