About the Course

The English and Academic Preparation - Pre-Collegiate non-credit course is for students with a (minimum) high-intermediate level of English. This certificate course is designed to help domestic and international students develop the academic skills necessary for success in undergraduate studies at an American university while strengthening their English proficiency. Ideally, prospective students have completed or are near completion of a high school diploma in their country and would like to come to the United States to study for a bachelor’s degree. The total length of time required to complete the course is approximately 4 weeks. Students should expect to spend about 5-7 hours per week working with the materials and assignments. The course is made up of 4 modules: • Listening, Speaking, and Critical Thinking • Writer’s Workshop • Reading and Note-taking • Capstone Project Each module consists of video lessons, opportunities for practicing English and academic skills, interactive discussion boards with classmates, and graded activities. All courses are asynchronous, which means that the lessons and their activities can be completed at any time of day or night, provided that all course assignments are completed by the final day of class....

This is such an educative coursse for non-English speakers. It gives all basics and essantial information that can be very helpful not only for those who prepare for applying for USA colleges but also for thosse who want to learn more about various methods of writing academic essays, imporving their reading skills and much more. Thank you a lot for it, though i've got a problem with my final assignment as i could find any features that whould make me send aufio file where i spoke for 6 mins about a chosen topic. All in all, this course is awesome!!!

Taking this course has helped me get a closer look into academic English at the pre-collegiate level. I especially like how it's timed and engaging students with other learners too making the learning process more realistic and interactive. The written and spoken response approach provided is an interesting way to improve the learner's communication skills. I'm glad to have been able to finish this course in such a limited time and easy access.

Thank You Coursera and Rice University !

The only point I disappointed with was the essay or activity it was checked for other students instead of teacher.

As a teacher, I should definitely say that the course has been designed by professional instructors because it smoothly takes you from a phase to another making sure that you have learnt or even mastered the previous requirements before moving on. With some degree of commitment in time and effort, anyone can pass the course and enjoy it at the same time. Thank you everyone in Coursera platform.

It was the first course that I attended. I've learned about academic English writing. It helped me understand how to take notes from the classes. I have also learned how to read an article and paraphrase it. My goal is to write articles about science, and this course helped me a lot with that.

I'm definitely welling to pick up another class. As a security guard, sitting at the desk doing nothing. This program will help me. To learn and achieve what I thought was impossible without a degree. And only a high school diploma at hand. Thank you!! To All!!!!!!!!!
