We believe in active engagement as the most effective teaching method. That's why you will have a voice in shaping your course according to your own goals.

Why take this course?

The English used in academic settings, such as textbooks and lectures, is more complex and specialized than conversational English. This course was designed based on research that identifies the most important features of academic English in order to help you speak with confidence in a variety of academic settings.

What you will learn

In this course, each lesson is focused on an academic language function, such as explaining cause and effect, describing ideas, or talking about data, charts and numbers. You'll learn critical academic vocabulary that accompanies each function. You'll also practice advanced grammar points that are common in academic language.
