English Language Support Courses for Non-Native English Speakers (Undergraduate Students)

Are you an undergraduate student who is not a native English speaker?  Would you like some additional English language support?  The Global Gateway Program offers two classes that you might be interested in:

GBL 1331  English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Reading and Writing  

This course is designed to help students who are non-native to English read and write academic English and to facilitate development in these skills for success in university studies. Students will be provided opportunities to analyze and express ideas in academic writings while reading and critiquing the work of others. Students will write essays to become familiar with aspects of conducting research and following APA and/or MLA guidelines.

GBL 1333  English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Listening and Speaking 

This course will teach and apply listening, note-taking, and presentation skills essential for academic learning, inquiry, and discourse in the context of authentic academic listening and speaking tasks. Students will work to build fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary skills through extensive and intensive listening tasks of increasing complexity. Students will listen to academic lectures and discussions, give presentations, and apply these to their other courses .

Both courses count for credit towards graduation requirements.

Any interested Baylor undergraduate student that feels the need to improve their English can also enroll in these classes, which are offered in the fall, spring and even the summer.
