COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
ESL program
Montecito Fine Arts College of Design’s ESL Program
operates on a 14-week term. The normal schedule is
Monday through Friday 9 am to 4 pm, except Level VII and
VIII TOEFL Preparation (Monday through Thursday 9 am
– 4 pm).
New students will be required to take an unofficial ESL
Placement Test to assess their current English language
ability and to determine appropriate grade level placement.
Enrolled students may opt to test out of their current ESL
grade level anytime during the term to advance to the next
grade level; however, students must receive a passing score
before advancing to the next grade level. At the end of each
term, all students must take the exam to test out of their
current grade level and must receive a passing score before
advancing to the next grade level. Students who do not
satisfactorily pass the exam must retake the course until he/
she feels they are ready to retake the grade level exam.
Level I (Beginner)
This beginner’s course introduces students who have minimal
knowledge of the English language to simple spoken phrases and
writing simple sentences. Listening and speaking skills are essential
building blocks for the foundation and development of reading
and writing skills; therefore students will engage in basic in-class
conversations to increase listening comprehension and speaking
skills.
No Prerequisite
Level II (Beginner)
Students in this course will continue developing basic
communication and comprehension skills by further developing
listening, speaking, writing and reading competency. Continuous
vocabulary building, learning grammatical structures, classroom
participation, and reading and writing exercises are integrated into
the daily lesson plans to improve English fluency.
Prerequisite: Level I
Level III (Intermediate)
Students in this intermediate ESL course will practice writing and
editing short paragraphs, deliver short oral presentations, and
develop coherent and accurate sentence structure. Students will
also explore communicating with formal and informal language and
focus on attentive listening and improved communication through
figurative language and idiomatic expressions.
Prerequisite: Level II
Level IV (Intermediate)
To gain increasing fluency in written and oral English, students will
begin demonstrating critical thinking and comprehension abilities
through the process of writing, sentence structure, word choice,
grammar usage, and improved speaking skills.
Prerequisite: Level III
Level V (Advanced)
Students will begin applying and demonstrating critical thinking:
students will apply advanced knowledge of the language through
interpreting idioms, analogies, expanded vocabulary, figures of
speech, and metaphors. Literary text will be assigned and students
will need to read the text and comprehend the information (e.g.,
theme, plot, setting, and character development) through oral and
written detailed responses.
Prerequisite: Level IV
Level VI (Advanced)
Advanced level students are asked to apply their critical thinking
abilities by analyzing the assigned reading materials and writing and
editing literary essays. Students are engaged in longer conversations,
advanced-level dialogue, and intensive practice for college-level
reading and writing assignments.
Prerequisite: Level V
Level VII & VIII: TOEFL Preparation
The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) exam is required
for non-native English speakers to test into an American college
or university. Our TOEFL preparation courses are divided into two
levels: Level VII and Level VIII. The TOEFL preparation courses are
designed to familiarize students with the test format, simulate
practice tests, and intensively train students in test strategies for the
four sections (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) of the exam.
Prerequisite: Level VI
