Abstract
This project focuses on a revision of English 97 around the theme Cultural Impacts on Education. English 97 is a combined reading/writing pre-college composition course that is part of Green River College’s accelerated English curriculum designed to get students college-ready within one quarter. This revision of the course’s theme sought to internationalize the curriculum, as 85-95% of students in this course are immigrant and international students and the previous curriculum focused entirely on U.S. perspectives. In revising this curriculum, the researcher created a two-part structure in which students first read and discuss various perspectives about the course theme, Cultural Impacts on Education, and then turn to writing and researching about this topic as it relates to them personally. The goal is to build reading and writing skills while also helping the students connect their experiences as learners to our college’s educational culture.
