Preparation for English College Studies (PECS)
PECS is a course designed for students for whom English is a second language. The course is primarily intended for students who will be attending Marianopolis College in the Autumn 2008 session and priority registration will be given to those students.
The purpose of this course is to raise the level of English communication skills through grammar review, vocabulary and idiom drills, oral presentations, reading comprehension drills, and free and controlled writing exercises leading to clear and coherent sentences and paragraphs in the different stylistic modes. Students will also become familiar with the college and its various components and services in order to facilitate the transition to an Anglophone institution.
This course does not give credit towards a Diploma of Collegial Studies, nor does it act as a replacement for ENG 002.
The course will begin on Wednesday, June 25, 2008 and finish Friday, July 11, 2008. Classes are from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. daily.
Enrollment in the course will be limited to 25 students per section offered. Registration and payment should be completed no later than Friday, June 6, 2008 at the Business Office,
Room A-269, tel. 514-931-8792 ext. 259.
