2 Revised 8/7/12 UC Two units on campus provide services to students needing English as a Second Language: Center for ESL (CESL) Responsible for providing ESL services to students who have been admitted into academic programs (but also serves part-time nonmatriculated students). All courses carry university credit. Students may take 1-12 credits per term, but visas cannot be issued for full-time study in CESL. Placement into courses is based on the English Placement Test, TOEFL or IELTS scores, or ESL Placement Test. CESL is housed in CECH; the unit is also responsible for administering the Oral English Proficiency Test for International Graduate Assistants. (Communiversity, in collaboration with CESL, also offers several pre-academic ESL courses for nonmatriculated students) English Language Services (ELS) The proprietary language school at UC (affiliated with but not owned by UC). Provides intensive English to non-, pre-, and conditionally-admitted students. Courses do not carry university credit. Students who study in ELS are issued a visa specifically for the study of ESL. Contact information: ; cin@els.edu; 1
3 Revised 8/7/12 Overview The Center for ESL offers sequential courses on the undergraduate and graduate levels in both reading/writing and speaking/listening, as well as other stand-alone courses. Students can place into any level in the sequences (see p. 3). Placement is based on ENPT Score OR ESL Placement Test Score OR TOEFL Score OR IELTS Score (see p. 3). ENPT or ESL Placement Scores trump TOEFL or IELTS scores, as the former will be more recent and thus more valid. Undergrad Reading/Writing Sequence ESL1067 Basic Academic Reading and Writing ESL1068 Foundations of Academic Reading and Writing for ESL ESL1069 Success in Undergrad Academic Writing ESL 1070 Introduction to English Comp for International Students (equivalent to ENGL 1000/101b) ESL 1080 English Composition for International Students (equivalent to ENGL 1001/101&112) ESL 2089 Intermediate Composition for International Students (equivalent to ENGL 2089/289) Undergrad Speaking/Listening Sequence ESL1071 Basic Oral Communication ESL1072 Foundations of Academic Oral Communication ESL1073 Success in Academic Oral Communication What Happens After ESL? IMPORTANT NEW INFORMATION As of 12A, the Center for ESL will offer the Freshman Composition sequence equivalent to the ENGL sequence for most students who are not native speakers of English. Students who take the ESL sequence DO NOT need to take the ENGL sequence. International or immigrant students who achieve the appropriate score on the SAT or ACT should register for the ENGL sequence of courses (1000, 1001, 2089). Non-native speakers of English who do NOT have SAT or ACT scores should register for the ESL sequence of courses based on placement scores (see p. 3): 18 ESL 1070, 18 ESL 1080 and 18 ESL
4 Undergraduate WRITING Placement Guide Although the ENPT has been largely eliminated, it still is being used for some students. If you have an ENPT score, use it for placement. If not, use TOEFL/IELTS writing subscores. Note: An ENPT score of 12 in Universys indicates that the student has been identified as needing ESL but specific course determination has not yet been made. SCORE OF 9 on the ENPT 18- ESL (608) 18- ESL (081) 18- ESL (609) SCORE OF 10 on the ENPT 18- ESL (609) 18- ESL (081) SCORE OF 11 on the ENPT 18- ESL (081) Upon completion of 18-ESL-1069, students portfolios will be reviewed to determine if 1070(101b) is required prior to 1080(101/112). In all cases, students must complete 1080 and 2089(289) to fulfill the English Composition requirement. ESL Writing Course Placement Based on TOEFL ibt or IELTS Writing Subscores Initial Placement ENPT TOEFL ibt Writing IELTS Writing 18 ESL 1080 (101) ESL 1070 (101b) ESL 1069 (081) 3 or ESL 1068 (609) 2 or ESL 1067 (608) 1 or
5 Undergraduate SPEAKING/LISTENING Placement Guide Many international/immigrant students will also need ORAL COMMUNICATION courses. Placement is based on TOEFL, IELTS, or ESL Placement Test Scores.
