The short course is designed for staff members with basic knowledge of English who wish to improve their language skills at the workplace, for instance when dealing with international student counseling. We will learn standard phrases in written correspondence and practice drafting well-structured emails, semi-formal and formal. Participants are welcome to bring email samples from the office to class for discussions. Furthermore, we use roleplay situations to get speaking practice for providing assistance to students, in person or over the phone.
