Reminder – Teaching a Culturally Diverse Student Population Staff Training Series – How can the English Language Centre help with students’ academic skills development in a culturally diverse learning environment?

It is well recognised that teaching students in a culturally diverse learning environment is extremely rewarding, but also present challenges, both for academics and students.  Such challenges will be daunting for those who have limited experience of supporting and teaching overseas students, but also for students experiencing for the first time an international classroom.

This session, which will take place online (Microsoft Teams), on Wednesday 11^th October 2023, 3-4 pm, will address the following questions:

• Who is in the English Language Centre and what does it do?
• What are the main challenges facing students who are not native speakers of English?
• What are these ‘academic skills’ that all students are expected to come to university with or to develop?
• How can the English Language Centre help you support students with academic skills development?
