Intercultural Programs and Support (IPS), a new unit under the Center for International Students and Scholars (CISS), will be offering a special 6-week course designed to provide academic support to international students. The course will feature strategies for developing English skills and academic skills in English to promote success. This is a great course for students who are struggling in their university courses because of English and/or because of a new academic culture.
Topics in Academic English
This course will focus on the academic English skills needed to respond in speaking and writing to reading passages. Students will explore how to use readings to improve language structure and vocabulary and will examine related strategies to improve reading skills.
The last class meets at the beginning of finals week and will be a finals support workshop. The English course is most suitable for undergraduate students.
Meetings: Mondays 4:30pm-6:45pm (Storrs Campus)
