 Hello, welcome to Highline and welcome to our directed self-placement process. This was designed as an experience to help you make the best choice in terms of what English class that you need to take. Talofa and welcome to Highline College. This process, your opinion matters to figure out what kind of English class you want to be placed in. And this is not a test, so don't freak out, just relax. At Highline there are a range of different writing courses available to you and it's important that you choose the one that helps you develop your reading and writing skills. Reading and writing are important for all the subjects, even a math class. In my case, I start my English preparation attending English 91 and I consider that course as one of my best professional experiences because I gain the ability to become more prepared for my other college courses and also I gain academic confidence. Writing and reading is important for your career choice. I'm in human service field and it's important for me to write client notes clearly and also in case studies. English 91 is a five credit pre-college course that students take before English 101. The course helps students develop paragraphs and structure full-length essays. In this course, students have the opportunity to work with their instructor on grammar, punctuation, verb tense, and sentence structure. English 101 Plus Support is a ten college credit course that provides in-class support and extra time. When finished, you have completed English 101. The extra time is used to develop reading strategies for harder academic readings and writing strategies for college essays. Students have the opportunity to work with the instructor in class to discuss feedback and work with grammar and punctuation issues. English 101 is a five college credit course that focuses on college essay writing and complex readings. In this course, students are able to brainstorm, develop good drafting and revision strategies. Students will learn to communicate effectively by working on their writing process, thesis, context, and audience. Hello, students. It's my pleasure to be here today to talk to you about the steps you have to take in order for you to make the best decision and roll into an English course, which will fit your needs and allow you to enhance your current skills. As a first stage of this process, we will have you reflect on your past reading and writing experiences by completing a questionnaire. And then you read the Sembo reading and Sembo writing from English 101. Then you will review a student's response to the assignment. After this, we will ask you to write a sample reflection in response to the assignment that you've read. Then we will have you reflect on the reading and writing that you've had from either in school or at work. We have videos for you to watch where Highline students talk about their experience attending different English courses. After all of this, we want you to choose the English course that is best for you. And then you'll take your decision and meet with the placement advisor. Ms. Hannah. Hi. Nice to meet you. Thank you and enjoy the experience. We are happy to help you at Highline College. We look forward to seeing you in English classes.
