Trends in English as a Second Language. Information Capsule.
Baldwin, Anne
This report discusses the steep increases in second language activity at Miami-Dade Community College (M-DCC) over the past two decades. During this time span, credit language course activity has grown from 28,391 credits in 1980 to 76,608 credits in 2001. This is an increase of 48,217 credits in second language courses. Total credits grew by 90,956 during this same period, which means that second language courses provided 53% of the M-DCC's credit growth. Furthermore, second language non-credit equivalents grew from 29.5% of all credit equivalents to 54% of all equivalents in 2001. Dramatic increases occurred in Fall term 2000 and again in Fall term 2001. Second language equivalents grew by 52,237 while total non-credit equivalents grew by 83,831 during this time frame. The document contains detailed data regarding second language credit and second language non-credit numbers for the following years: 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2001. Contains three tables, which discuss trends in English as a second language for the following campuses: North Campus, Kendall Campus, Wolfson Campus, InterAmerican Campus, and Hialeah Center. Proportional credit second language activity was by far the greatest at the Hialeah Center. (MZ)
