Integrated Reading and Writing Courses. Chabot College’s accelerated English course is one of the longest running accelerated models nationwide.
Students who do not meet the minimum Accuplacer scores for college English have two choices for their developmental coursework. They can self-place into: A one-semester accelerated course that leads directly to college English (English 102, 4 units), orA two-semester non-accelerated sequence (English 101A-101B, 8 units) Both the accelerated course and the two-levels-below transfer course are open-access with no minimum placement score.
Both pathways integrate reading, writing, and reasoning. Developmental English - The Reader's Corner: Expanding Perspectives Through Reading, 4th Edition-9780495802563 - Carol C. Kanar. Acceleration Project CA CCs.
