Did you know that the CLAS offers free, interactive, and fun English Language Workshops? These workshops are designed for students looking to learn about and improve their English skills. Each workshop is held in a supportive, small-group setting with an experienced tutor specializing in a particular subject. If you are an international student or English language learner, these workshops could be a great way for you to not only improve your grammar and succeed in your classes, but also to learn some of the culture associated with the English language. These workshops differ from working one on one with a writing tutor because you don’t need to bring in a paper or assignment; the workshops provide general knowledge about the English language as a whole in a fun and collaborative way. Here are some of the details on these awesome workshops:
Pronunciation: In this workshop, we will do exercises and activities that will improve your English pronunciation. Mondays 12-1 Facilitator: Jamie Bondar 73 Tremont Room 9022 1/30-4/17 TOEFL Workshop: In this workshop, we will cover strategies for success to help students improve their reading, grammar, speaking, and listening skills for the TOEFL exam and beyond. Mondays 3-4 Facilitator: George Scala 73 Tremont Room 9022 1/30-4/3 Revising Papers for Busy People: Overworked? Stressed about your paper? Running out of time? We'll show you quick and dirty tips and tricks to make your paper better, faster. Tuesdays 12-1 Facilitator: Ben Tanaka 73 Tremont Room 9022 1/31-4/18 Networking and Smalltalk: In this conversation workshop, we will cover social situations, buying and selling, interviewing for jobs, and expressing yourself clearly and politely anyplace with anyone. Tuesdays 3-4 Facilitator: Tom Filbin 73 Tremont Room 8060 1/31-4/18 Supernatural in Contemporary Pop Culture: In this conversation workshop, we will watch video clips of popular TV shows about the supernatural and discuss. Wednesdays 3-4 Facilitator: Suzanne Morris 73 Tremont Room 8060 2/8-4/19 From Music to Memes: Improving Your Grammar While Having Fun! Thursdays 12-1 Facilitator: Olivia Cerrone 73 Tremont Room 9022 2/2-4/20 American Slang and Idioms: In this conversation-based workshop, we will explore American Slang and Idiomatic expressions. Thursdays 5-6 Facilitator: Hillary Sabbagh 73 Tremont Room 9014 2/2-4/20 If any of these workshops look interesting to you, I encourage you to stop by! There is no sign up or commitment, and you will absolutely leave having learned something new. If you have any additional questions, please email Brian Smith at [email protected].
