Students’ academic skills development in a culturally diverse learning environment: How the Language Centre can help.

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 will address the following questions:

• Who is in the 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 Language Centre help you support students with academic skills development?
