Description
Just the phrase ‘academic English’ can sometimes make students – and teachers - feel nervous and afraid. In this episode, in the company of Tracey Costley from the University of Essex, we show that academic English doesn’t have to be quite as scary as it sounds, and that academic English can actually be accessible for everyone.In the field report, we find out about a fantastic initiative at the University of Leicester for refugee-background students, who receive online support to develop their academic English skills so that they can access degree programmes at UK universities.Download the show notes, activity booklet and transcript in English and Arabic
