Spoken English Skills Class
For Postdocs and Visiting Scholars
In the Spring 2021 semester, the CSLC is offering a free English academic communications class for Notre Dame postdocs and visiting scholars who are non-native speakers of English. This class focuses on speaking skills in an academic context. Example skills include:
- Pronunciation
- Academic presentations
- Conversation
- Socializing in different contexts
- Grammar (minimal/focused)
- Body language
- Academic vocabulary
Classes are taught by a Notre Dame TESOL scholar as part of their final teaching practicum. They will meet on Mondays & Wednesday at 4:30-5:30pm via Zoom.
This semester, the class will be split into two seven-week sessions:
- Session 1 | Spoken English Skills: Everyday Language (February 3 - March 22)
- Session 2 | Spoken English Skills: Professional Language (March 24 - May 10)
Students may register for one or both sessions. Each class will be limited to 15 students.
