English for international academic communication

Do you want to feel more confident when participating in international workshops and conferences?  Would you like to practice for this situation in an online setting that is facilitated by a language trainer? 

You will spend two mornings exchanging ideas with other participants and perfecting a presentation on your chosen topic.  You will receive language feedback and develop your ability to clarify and avoid misunderstandings.

This course will be advertised to HSRM partner universities and therefore provides a realistic simulation of international academic exchange.  Come and join us!
