English for Work: Conversation Training August-September 2024

This course for university staff trains conversation skills. Over three weeks, participants will have the chance to get know a small group of other staff members from diverse parts of the university. The goal will be to improve speaking fluency and confidence in a relaxed, stimulating environment. Depending on the participants’ desires, we will engage in small talk, discuss common interests, and converse about topics related to university life and administration. The instructor will provide each participant with feedback on vocabulary and grammar every week and suggest relevant exercises on an individual basis.

If you have taken the course in the past, you are welcome to join again and continue improving your English: the course materials and content will change every semester. The course counts toward the Certificate of Intercultural Competence for administrative, technology, and lab personnel.
