Language Skills Development
Studying and researching in another language is an amazing achievement but can be challenging, no matter how fluent you are. The language skills programme aims to support and guide you through some of these challenges.
The programme is delivered by the Languages EAP Team (English for Academic Purposes) and is free for students and researchers of the University of Exeter in Cornwall.
Workshops
The following workshops are running during the Spring term, and you can join at any time.
Academic Language Skills
These weekly workshops aim to develop the advanced writing and language skills needed for study and research. Sessions are organised by level and discipline area to allow for a focus on specific language and style e.g. Language for Renewable Energy Engineering, Language for Business and Law, or Language for Biodiversity and Conservation.
Language in Use
These weekly 60 min workshops are a chance to review grammar, discover new vocabulary and explore functional, everyday language for living in the UK. A great place to ask questions and meet students from across the universities.
Sounds of English
These workshops focus on the pronunciation and delivery of spoken English, and how to develop your speaking and listening skills.
Family Classes
Family language classes - A chance for the spouses and partners of staff/students at the universities to get together for conversational English language practice. The sessions are hosted by one of the language tutors who will provide guidance on functional language, useful expressions and answer any questions about life in Cornwall.
