ESL Courses
Undergraduate Course Sequence
Level I
Due to limited language proficiency, students at this
level are generally restricted to taking only ESL, physical
education, and one mathematics or computer science course.
- ENG G009 - Intermediate Aural/Oral Skills
for ESL Students (2 cr)
Focuses on academic listening and speaking skills.
- ENG G010 - English as a Second Language I
(4 cr)
Focuses on reading, writing, and grammar.
- ENG G015 - Pronunciation Skills (2 cr)
Level II
At this level, students generally take two ESL classes,
but sometimes one or three, plus two freshman-level
content courses. Courses requiring extensive reading
and writing should be avoided.
- ENG G011 - English as a Second Language II
(4 cr)
Focuses on academic reading and grammar skills. Usually
must be taken before or concurrently with W001.
- ENG G012 - English as a Second Language III
(3 cr)
Focuses on academic listening and speaking skills,
including understanding lectures, note taking, presentations,
group discussions.
- ENG W001 - Fundamentals of English (3 cr)

focusing on the specific language needs of ESL students.
Must be taken with or after G011 unless exempted by
the ESL program.
- ENG G015 - Pronunciation Skills (2 cr)
Level III
At this level, students are capable of taking a full
academic-load of classes, although courses should probably
be restricted to general, freshman-level courses.

Same curricular goals as the non-ESL sections, but
focusing on the specific language needs of ESL students.
Meets IUPUI graduation requirements.
- ENG G015 - Pronunciation Skills (2 cr)
Graduate Course Sequence
Level I
Graduate students with weak language skills take the
same ESL classes as the undergraduates at this level.
Because their fields are more specialized and they bring
more background, the type and number of courses these
students can take beyond ESL are determined in consultation
with their advisors. We recommend no more than two non-ESL
classes for students at this level.
- ENG G011 - English as a Second Language II
(4 cr)
Focuses on academic reading and grammar skills. Usually
must be taken before or concurrently with W001.
- ENG G012 - English as a Second Language III
(3 cr)
Focuses on academic listening and speaking skills,
including understanding lectures, note taking, presentations,
group discussions.
- ENG W001 - Fundamentals of English (3 cr)
Same curricular goals as the non-ESL sections, but
focusing on the specific language needs of ESL students.
Must be taken with or after G011 unless exempted by
the ESL program.
- ENG G015 - Pronunciation Skills (2 cr)
Level II
At this level, most graduate students only take one
ESL class at a time if they need both, along with their
regular graduate course work, although some will take
both classes in one semester.
- ENG G013 - Academic Reading and Writing for
International Students (Grads) (3 cr)
Focusing on reading and writing for academic purposes,
assignments are given which use materials from the
students’ academic disciplines.
- ENG G020 - Communication Skills for ITAs
(3 cr)
While focusing on the speaking and presentation skills
required of International Teaching Assistants (ITAs),
this class may also include non-ITAs who need to develop
their spoken language skills or wish to have ITA positions
in the future. Skills include pronunciation, classroom
interaction, presentations, seminar discussions, and
basic teaching strategies.
