Fundamentals of English Grammar and English Pronunciation and Communication for Non-Native English Speakers via Cisco Webex, starting the week of Oct. 2, 2024. Each mini-course will meet two (2) hours per week for a total of four (4) weeks. Note: Registration for the two courses starts on August 26, 2024.
1. Fundamentals of English Grammar (Oct. 3–24, 2024; Thursdays, 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.)
This course is designed for graduate students who want to improve their academic writing by "brushing up" on the fundamentals of English grammar. It focuses on grammatical issues commonly found in graduate student writing, such as the appropriate use of verb tenses. Students also have individual weekly meetings with the instructor and receive feedback on their own writing. To register for this course, please e-mail Dr. Patricia McEvoy-Jamil at Patricia.A.McEvoyJamil@uth.tmc.edu.
2. English Pronunciation and Communication for Non-Native English Speakers (Oct. 2–23, 2024; Wednesdays, 1:30 p.m.–3:30 p.m.)
This course offers a structured exploration of English pronunciation and communication for students who speak English as a second or foreign language. Through a series of four comprehensive lessons, students will delve into fundamental concepts such as phonetics, stress patterns, and intonation, with a focus on developing clear and articulate speech in American English. Emphasizing both rules and practical application, this course will help equip learners with the necessary skills to communicate more effectively and confidently in English in academic and professional contexts. To register for this course, please e-mail Dr. Zhiling "Willa" Wu at Zhiling.Wu@uth.tmc.edu.
