Abstract
Several indicators suggest there will be an increase in overall college admissions in the near future and an increased need for academic support for underprepared students (Otte and Mlynarczyk 2010). Relying on sound theoretical research from Composition and Rhetoric, along with interdisciplinary research from TESOL and Educational Psychology, this comprehensive writing course can help “bridge the gap” between pre-college level (PCL) writers and the demands they face in their academic, postsecondary education.
