Multilingual Students and Gwar
Who is a Multilingual Student?
A multilingual student is one for whom English is their second language and who most likely do not speak English at home.
What is GWAR?
GWAR stands for Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement. This is a requirement that must be fulfilled by all juniors at all CSUs.
How can I fulfill my GWAR?
All students can fulfill the GWAR by taking a writing-intensive course in their majors. Visit your department website or office for more information about the GWAR class in your major.
Attention GWAR Instructors
If you have multilingual students in your GWAR class who need writing and grammar support, the Composition for Multilingual Students (CMS) Program has several options to offer.
English 212
An advanced grammar and editing for writing course, including GWAR. The ENG 212 course offers instruction and practice in editing their writing for grammar accuracy.
English 217
Equivalent to English 216, English 217 offers multilingual students instruction and practice in basic essay writing and research skills. Recommended for ML students in lieu of English 216, or as a review course for those who have completed this requirement, but could use more practice in fundamental writing skills. Students may take this course in preparation for their GWAR, or other upper-division writing-intensive courses.
We encourage you to recommend these courses to your multilingual students who would benefit from writing and language preparation before or during their GWAR course. Students who wish to take one or more of these classes should come by the CMS Office in HUM 482 or email us at cmls@sfsu.edu.
With your recommendation, GWAR students will be able to add a CMS class.
We are currently not accepting applications. Please check back to learn more in Spring 2025.

CMS FAQs
Graduation Credit
A: Classes in both programs fulfill SF State’s written English requirements for graduation and General Education (GE) Written and oral communication requirements. However, classes in the CMS Program are taught by instructors who specialize in teaching courses that address the needs of multilingual speakers of English. The table below shows how certain classes in the two programs correspond to each other (Note: not all classes in both programs are shown in the table). ESPAÑOL
| Native-speaker options | Multilingual options |
|---|---|
| These courses A2 Written Communication requirement: | |
| English 104/105 or English 114 | Eng 201/202 or English 209 |
| These courses fulfill the GE AE Life Long Learning requirement: | |
| English 216 | English 217 |
A: This depends on the Advising Module recommendation which gives you the chance to choose from several pathways depending on your learning needs. Both pathways provide credit towards graduation. While the decision is yours, after you attend a CMS class, the instructor may suggest support classes. In the case of Composition courses, the instructor may encourage you to take classes in the CMS program if you would be better served by taking classes designed for multilingual students and taught by instructors who specialize in teaching English to multilingual speakers.
A: Students who are interested in switching programs should speak with the CMS/Composition Adviser. There are eligibility requirements for every course offered by the CMS program; thus, it is not possible to register and attend a CMS program course without taking the Advising Module or without being directly advised to take the course. If you feel that the CMS program is a better choice for you, we strongly recommend that you contact the adviser as early as possible.
A: Most colleges have writing or speech courses that students can take to meet the SF State GE written and oral communication requirement. If you took such a course, and the course(s) transferred to SF State and have met the SF State requirement, then you do not have to take courses at SF State. Make sure that your requirements have been met by your first year at SF State.
A: Some universities accept courses taken in SF State’s CMS program. However, you should discuss this question with the admissions office of the institution to which you are transferring. For more information, please visit us in the CMS office in Humanities 482.
Courses
A: Whether or not you need to take CMS classes depends primarily on your academic English proficiency and the English classes you have taken in previous institutions. It also depends on your Advising Module recommendation. We also encourage you to meet with a CMS Program adviser as soon as possible by visiting the office in Humanities 482.
A: Your Advising Module recommendation will help you decide which class you should take:
| For freshman directly from high school | For other freshman and transfer students | All students |
|---|---|---|
|
English 201 (and maybe English 204) English 202 (and maybe English 212) |
English 204 or English 212 English 209 |
English 210 |
| English 217 | English 217 |
A.
- All new freshmen should plan to attend an orientation session. Visit the New Student Programs website for information about signing up for a session. You will be able to register for many of your classes at the orientation session.
- Before you attend an orientation session, complete the Advising Module, so that you have a course recommendation.
A: In the summer, the CMS Program offers about 15 percent of the number of courses and sections that are available in the fall and spring semesters. Certain courses are not offered in the summer semester at all (English 201/202, 204, and 212). We advise against students depending on being able to fulfill required English courses in the summer, due to the limited number of courses offered.
A: Often, students take English 201 and 204 or English 202 and 212 together. For other writing classes, we do not recommend students take more than one class at the same time unless they have been advised by a CMS instructor. You can take English 210, the oral communication course at the same time as another CMS course.
A: Students are strongly encouraged to take their required GE written and oral communication courses each semester until they are completed.
Students
A: Whether or not you need to take CMS classes depends primarily on your academic English proficiency, determined by your Advising Module recommendation, and on what requirements you have met through courses at your previous school. We encourage you to meet with an Academic Advisor or speak with a CMS adviser as soon as possible.
A: Program courses are available through the College of Extended Learning (CEL). However, priority is given to SF State undergraduate students who are fulfilling graduation requirements; therefore, few spaces are available for CEL students.
Exchange students may enroll in CMS program classes.
Note: Exchange students and College of Extended Learning students wishing to take CMS courses must complete the Advising Module and see a CMS advisor before enrolling in any course.
A: Yes. The College of Extended Learning offers two unique programs: American Language Institute and English for Professional Purposes.
City College of San Francisco also offers many English classes in two programs: a credit program (where students earn credits toward an academic degree) and a noncredit program (where students can improve their general, non-academic English skills).
Finally, there are many private language schools in the Bay Area.
A: In general, no. Visiting scholars should speak with Professor Priya Abeywickrama in the M.A. TESOL program for more information about taking English classes.
A: Yes, if they take the Advising Module, or under special advising circumstances from their Graduate Advisors. However, priority registration is given to undergraduate students who are fulfilling graduation requirements.
A: Yes, English 670 is designed with graduate students in mind. Students from all disciplines are welcome to sign up. For more information contact the coordinator of the MA TESOL Program (matesol@sfsu.edu).
Note: Graduate students wishing to take CMS classes should see a CMS adviser before enrolling in any course.
Tutoring
A: The Tutoring and Academic Support Center (TASC) provides students with tutors for regularly scheduled sessions throughout the semester, in addition to “drop-in” tutoring. Visit the TASC website for more information about the services they provide to the campus community.
