English for uni workshops

Learn about sentence types and how to clarify meaning at the sentence level. This workshop series provide a general introduction to basic sentence structure. Each workshop builds on the previous one, so it is important to attend all three sessions. The focus is on how sentence combinations can be used to achieve greater grammatical accuracy and flexibility in writing.

This workshop series can help you improve your understanding of English grammar and sentence structure so that you can proofread your own work. Each week you'll work with other students and a Learning Advisor in both giving and receiving feedback on a paragraph of your current writing.

At Time for a conversation! there will be games and activities to practise listening and talking in English. Together we will cover a range of social exchanges including ordering food, taking part in conversation at parties, meeting and greeting friends and exploring the many challenges of conversing with others.

This workshop series begins with an overview of the purpose and style of academic writing. It provides opportunities for students to look at their assessment tasks and identify features of assignments, and some strategies to achieve success in writing for academic audiences and purposes.
