This course is adapted from the ELA 20F and Stage 3 curriculum expectations. It gives adult learners the opportunity to explore a wide range of literary, transactional and technical materials. The goal of this course is to help students understand and appreciate language and to use language confidently and competently.

ELA 30S transactional focus

This course focuses on the day-to-day use of language for a variety of purposes. Students produce and engage with oral, written and visual texts that inform, direct, persuade, plan, analyze, argue and explain. While the texts students read, view and write have a practical purpose, they often use literary devices and expressive language to convey meaning. Due to the learning gaps that adult learners can experience, this course also integrates some comprehensive elements.
