English Language Support Programme (ELSP)

This course is designed to help students with English as an additional language to improve their academic English. Classes are 50 minutes long and take place during term time, with different topics offered each term. Students will develop their skills through practical in-class exercises and additional resources will help students to build their independent language learning abilities outside the classroom.

Students are welcome to join the course at any stage during the semester.

The course covers:

  • structure (reading strategies, academic text structure, paragraph structure)
  • style (formal language, writing concisely, using source material)
  • sentences (clauses, sentence types)
  • grammar (tenses, articles, prepositions, pronouns, active and passive)
  • vocabulary (building vocabulary, summarising)
