Abstract
This thesis examines the efficacy of the University of Toledo’s English as a Second Language (ESL) writing program in preparing students for disciplinary coursework. If the ESL writing program is to be effective, its writing assignments should be comparable to the writing assignments that students will be assigned in their disciplinary coursework. This thesis juxtaposes suggestions in recent literature along with the results of a survey of University of Toledo faculty about disciplinary coursework, and the University of Toledo’s current ESL writing program assignments. The purpose of this thesis is to identify what curriculum changes might be appropriate for the University of Toledo’s ESL writing program students, so that the ESL writing program’s assignments may more accurately reflect the types of writing that are frequently assigned in disciplinary courses at the University of Toledo.
