English for Study and Communication (ESC) workshops are now available. ESC workshops are available to all students and staff. The workshops focus on a variety of English language skills and situations, both academic and non-academic. They are aimed at those whose first language is not English, but anyone is welcome to attend. They are not credit-bearing and you can attend as many (or as few) sessions as you want. You do not have to prepare for the workshops and there is no homework!

There is no charge for the workshops.

There are two types of workshop: Discussion and Conversation and English Language and Study Skills.

Discussion and Conversation – These sessions are all about using your English to talk with other people in a friendly and supportive environment. They will include general conversations and more formal discussions on a wide range of topics. The workshops will give you the opportunity to develop your fluency and increase your confidence when speaking in English. The discussions often include information relating to local culture

English Language and Study Skills - These workshops will focus on helping you to improve your use of English in specific situations or for specific tasks. While many of these sessions focus on academic language and skills, we will also look at some general situations or use of the language. For example, we start by looking at, and listening to, the Scots language you will hear in Glasgow.

The ESC Moodle has details of the Semester 1 workshop timetable and topics.

We hope to see you in one (or more) of the workshops.
