Coaching for Academic English and wanted to inform you of the services the University currently have available for you if you are an International Student or a non-native speaker student who is registered as a home student.
Writing Consultations were launched
this week.
This service enables you to submit up to 1,000 words of your writing
to receive feedback on. One of the tutors from the Coaching for Academic English
team will read the work and make comments on it before having a tutorial with
you.
The feedback focuses on grammar and language as well as structure, argument development, academic style etc. Writing consultations are available face to face or online. The online consultations are fully interactive but require you to be available at the allocated time.
Face to face consultations take place in the Language Resource Centre in GM 238.
