History Department Academic English Language Support

Some of you may be researching and writing in a second language. We appreciate that this can be challenging, even if you have already undertaken some language training.

The History Department have arranged bespoke Academic English Language support for PG History students, provided by language specialists from Warwick Foundation Studies.

The classes are open to both PG Taught and PG Research students, are intended to help you write good academic English and there will also be limited provision of one-to-one support.

If you or your supervisor(s) think you would benefit from this please could you email the PG Coordinators at pghistoryoffice@warwick.ac.uk so that we have an idea of numbers.

Further details are available via the History Department Academic English Language Support web page.

The PiSL series is designed to support writing and speaking, reading and presenting. We discuss how we network and create connections. We also discuss the vagaries of undertaking research in the UK, strange British habits and accents, the words that mean something entirely different and trip us up every time.

The sessions are run by a Warwick PhD and lecturer.
