Educational Services for Students (ESS) will offer a six-week Spoken English/Culture Seminar to help new international graduate and professional students develop effective strategies for understanding and engaging in American and Case Western Reserve University culture and for enhancing spoken English.
ESS staff, along with invited guests and Spoken English Language Partners, will meet with seminar participants weekly. Seminar enrollment will be kept small enough for ample time to practice spoken English during the seminar.
Students will participate in lively and thoughtful discussions and activities for confidently communicating in English.
Topics will include:
- idiomatic language
- jokes/humor
- classroom conversations
- restaurants/food culture
- U.S. history
- academic resources
