If you feel there are particular sessions your students would benefit from, please highlight this to them.

Later in the term, we’ll be running some more One-Off Sessions as well as some 3-week and 5-week courses. Next week, I’ll be announcing the following courses:

·        Writing the Dissertation

·        Advanced Grammatical Features

·        The Critical Writing Process

·        Confidence in Academic Speaking

We also have Face-to-Face and Online Writing Consultations available to book as well as a Presentation Clinic. Writing Consultations allow students to submit up to 1,000 words of their writing to one of our tutors. They will receive feedback and a tutorial to discuss their work. The Online Consultations are fully interactive and allow the student to see and speak to their tutor. All they need is a computer that is connected to the internet and a quiet space. The Presentation Clinic is an opportunity for students to give a short 10-minute presentation in front of a small group and receive some feedback. If you feel some of your students would benefit from these services, please direct them to the Coaching for Academic English Moodle page to book a slot.

If you have any home students that would benefit from these services, please email their information languagecentre@mmu.ac.uk and we will contact them when services become available.

I’ve also created a Twitter account for Coaching for Academic English. Please follow us @MMUAcademicEng as we will post updates of our services as they become available.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you for your support and assistance,

Louise
