Sample Courses 

Intensive English

BLC 107 – full academic year-long course / 4 credits per semester

 This year-long class is designed to give international non-native speakers (lower intermediate/intermediate level) both an intensive English language experience,  with deep practice in the full range of skill areas (reading, writing, listening, speaking and vocabulary ) as well as an integrated overview of the Liberal Arts experience through the exploration of various  fields of study Bard has to offer. Through this investigation, students will develop the academic and study skills needed to survive this challenging English language academic environment.   Permission of the instructor is required. Class size: 14

Grammar for Writers 

BLC 110 – semester-long course / 4 credits

This writing-intensive class is designed for upper-intermediate/advanced non-native speakers of English. The issues which will be examined include grammar, usage, and style, with an emphasis on their application to academic writing.  Special attention will be given to problems created by language transfer issues and to the particularities of English.  Smaller class size, interactive exercises, and individual conferences will help students develop a clearer and more sophisticated expression in their writing.  Students may sign up for this class online but must meet with the  professor before finalizing registration. Class size: 14

Options to Teach Foreign Languages to Blind/Visually Impaired Students
This article (in both English and Spanish) describes the research project carried out with a blind student, who studied French at a public university. The pedagogical experience over three years began in a classroom when a foreign language teacher and educator felt herself “handicapped,” as she had not been prepared for working with blind people. In order to put her student on the same level of other students in terms of study possibilities, the teacher entered the blind and visually impaired students’ world through Braille. She designed methodologies in order to encourage the autonomous learning of the foreign language as well as tried to motivate other blind or visually impaired people to acquire the same knowledge.
