Academic English support classes

We provide a programme of Academic English Support classes to support international students (i.e. those for whom English is an additional language).

The programme is free and aims to help you to achieve higher marks through the best use of your English language skills.

These classes are voluntary and run as non-credit modules alongside your compulsory modules.

In the Autumn and Spring terms, we offer these modules:

  • SK020: Academic Writing Skills (part 1)
  • SK025: Academic Writing Skills (part 2)
  • SK035: Academic Speaking Skills (Discussions and Presentations)
  • SK037: Academic Speaking Skills (Pronunciation and Speaking Strategies)
  • SK038: PhD Writing Support (online only)
  • SK051: Grammar Review
  • SK335: Academic Reading Skills (online only)

If you would like to register for our Academic English Support modules please do so through eNROL.

If you prefer to attend an online class, you can enrol yourself via Careers Connect.

If you experience difficulty enrolling yourself on the module, or you have any questions, please email skills@essex.ac.uk
