English Language Learners: Speaking and Writing Series

Throughout the Winter 2026 term, there will be four informal drop-in conversations about writing and speaking in an academic context.  If you're an English language learner, this informal setting is a great opportunity to develop your speaking, writing, and listening skills. It's also an excellent way to meet other students. 

The goal of these conversations is for English language learners to:

• develop their knowledge of academic writing in a Canadian context.
• develop their English-speaking skills in a conversational setting.
• build connections with fellow English language learners with the goal of fostering a greater sense of belongingness.
