Following your requests for dedicated English Language support for International Students, we have designed Global English. These on-campus sessions will focus on listening and speaking English.
The Global English sessions are face to face on all our campuses and spaces are limited to 20 students per session.
So, hurry and book your place here for the following sessions:
English Idioms
Delve into the meaning of some popular expressions which may appear a little baffling in isolation, but they are an important aspect of understanding and using English in informal contexts. Come along to discuss them and unravel their mysteries.
Vocabulary Building
You will have the opportunity to practise your speaking while being challenged by the lyrics of a song to practice and develop your general vocabulary.
Poetry and Pronunciation
Engage with some poetic English – further develop your cultural understanding, and at the same time practise your pronunciation.
Popular Beliefs and Reading the Future
An opportunity to practise your spoken English, as we progressively focus on building your vocabulary around this topic with the help of some cross-cultural discussion, finishing, perhaps, with your own hypotheses about the future.
Homophones and Confusing Words
An introduction to some common mistakes people make with words which sound the same but have a different meaning and/or use. Once you’re aware of these words, you’ll feel less hesitant and more confident with your English. So come along and join us.
Other workshops and training sessions
You can see our full listing of workshops and training sessions, including our series on Academic English, which is open to all, on LibCal.
