English Language Workshops
English language workshops on a variety of linguistic and cultural topics are available for students who wish further clarification in a particular skill area. These workshops can help build the oral and written skills needed to be successful in the rigorous academic environment. They can help students enrich their vocabulary and learn English idioms and American conversational language and slang.
