Description
This workshop is a part of the Communication Skills for International Students programme. It is designed for international students and students who use English as an additional language.
Would your studies be easier if you knew more vocabulary? This workshop will help you to ‘get to know words’ better by introducing the Academic Word List and word families. The workshop also looks at how words can change in different contexts, with a focus on meaning and usage.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of the session, you will feel more confident about:
- Getting to know a word by exploring word families
- Exploring how the meaning of a word can change in different contexts
- Exploring how words exist in common phrases in both general and academic contexts
