Foundations Reading provides students an introduction to basic academic reading skills through further advancement of communicative abilities and simple text analysis and synthesis. This course focuses on introducing students to elementary academic texts on familiar or major-related topics, reading and questioning texts, and focusing on stems and affixes of unfamiliar words to begin building acquisition abilities in order to create a basic academic vocabulary. Students achieve these aims through guided instruction, leveled reading, and academic vocabulary-building skills. This course is part of the English Language and Cultural Institute (ELCI).
