Academic English Workshop Series

When:
Venue: Online

No booking required

The Academic English Workshop series is a 10 week programme of online sessions created to support students for whom English is an additional language and need to develop their confidence in communicating in a variety of academic contexts. The workshops are every Tuesday of Term 1 (starting in week 2) from 3pm to 5pm. They are delivered as both stand-alone workshops or as part of a series so students may attend as many or as few as they find necessary.

We will explore and discuss key features in academic writing, developing argument, critical reading and writing and communication skills in a variety of academic contexts. Come along to these highly supportive and friendly sessions and please feel free to ask relevant questions you may have.
