ESOL

I am offering academic writing and English language support this semester for all students who are studying with English as a second or additional language.

Time: Wednesdays 2-3pm 
Place: Library Seminar Room L107

So… I would like to cordially invite you along to some workshops which will take place on Wednesdays in the library seminar room (L107).

The workshops run from Wednesday Sept 24 until Wednesday December 3 and take place from 2-3pm.

The sessions will allow you to meet other international students, hopefully have some fun, and get up to speed with your academic writing. The first couple of workshops will give you the chance of a short writing task from which you will get feedback with recommendations for developing your English language. Then there will be five sessions focussing on academic writing and English language development, followed by sessions for individual assignment support. By the end of the course I hope you will be well prepared to submit your first assignments. I very much look forward to meeting you and getting to know you all.
