LSC-University Park Developmental English courses polish literacy skills — reading, writing, listening and speaking — to prepare students for success in college-level courses. Students become efficient readers and writers by creating a toolbox of strategies for both academic and work environments.

Developmental English classes include ENGL 1301 NCBO, a composition and rhetoric course for students who need extra support in writing and reading. Students enroll concurrently in ENGL 1301 and a one or two-hour lab course as determined by placement test scores. Developmental English faculty are not only trained in teaching reading and writing, but also are specialists in teaching adult learners who need additional support.
