Dear New Graduate Students & Visiting Scholars:
Welcome to Berkeley!
My name is Carolyn Yu and I am the main instructor for the Free English Class that is starting Sunday, Aug 23rd, on UC Berkeley campus.
This is a FREE, 6-week English class designed to help international graduate students & visiting scholars improve their communication skills needed for graduate level research, coursework and presentations. Pronunciation, Intonation, Discussion and Presentation skills, American Idioms & Culture will be the primary focus of the class.
This class is sponsored by International Graduate Student Ministry (www.igsmonline.org), and it has been a very popular class for the past 5 years with a class size of 50-70 students and 8-10 English teachers. Each student will have many opportunities to practice speaking English and receive helpful feedback & tips to improve their skills in a small group setting.
Here are the details for the English class:
Duration: 6 weeks from 8/23/09 to 9/27/09
Time: Every Sunday 10:00am - 12:00pm
Location: UC Berkeley campus (250 Dwinelle Hall)
