Developing Academic Reading (5 week course)

Developing Academic Reading (5 week course) In-Person

This 5-week course is for you if your first language is not English and you have a good university entry level in the skill of reading. This course may also be suitable for you if your secondary education in your home country was taught in English, but you would benefit from support in academic reading.

Building on your current language skills, you will work with authentic academic texts improving your reading efficiency and comprehension. You will get the help you need to succeed in your main course as you practice the key skills of paraphrasing, summarising and quoting.  You will also learn how to compare and evaluate sources, and to read critically.

Increase your knowledge of complex grammatical structures and academic vocabulary and receive targeted feedback and advice.
