Subject: [Gs-suppstaff-contacts] Subsidy Opportunity for Part-Time Academic English Courses offered by The English Language Centre
To All Graduate Students
Deadline: September 2, 2022
To: Department Heads, Graduate Chairs, Graduate Support Staff
The Faculty of Graduate Studies, the Vice-Provost (Students) and the University of Manitoba Graduate Student’s Association (UMGSA)
are pleased to offer a $100.00 subsidy on Part-Time Academic English Courses (PTAEC) offered by The English
Language Centre (ELC) delivered both in-person and via remote/virtual learning.
Students will have the opportunity to express their intent to apply for the subsidy of $100.00 via the application form linked below. If successful, the $100.00 subsidy will be applied directly
to the cost of one 30-hour Part-time Academic English Course offered in the Fall 2022 term. Once approved for the subsidy, students will be responsible for payment of the additional $50.00 of the ELC course fees above and beyond the $100.00 subsidy.
The subsidy is only available for new course registrations and will not be available as a refund for students that have already registered and paid for a course in the Fall 2022 term. Students already registered for a course are welcome to apply for the subsidy
if interested in registering for an additional course in the Winter 2023 term.
The Part-Time Academic English Courses are:
- 30 hours in duration, unless otherwise indicated
- One 3-hour class time per week for 10 weeks
- 10-15 students per class provides a considerable amount of one-on-one interaction with your instructor and classmates
- Synchronous and interactive (with modest amounts of asynchronous work)
- Facilitated by highly experienced English for Academic Purposes instructors
- Engaging: Meet other students and practice your English in a supportive environment!
Courses offered in Fall 2022:
- Oral English for Graduate Students
- Research Writing for Graduate Students
- Conversation & Discussion
- Oral Presentations
- Pronunciation
- Effective Academic Writing

brochure. To see the course outlines, watch remote classes’ videos, student video testimonials, please go to umanitoba.ca/elc/parttime.

- intend to enroll in a Part-Time Academic English Course offered through the English Language Centre in the Winter 2022 term; and,
- complete the subsidy application and submit it no later than September 2nd, 2022.
A total of 100 subsidies will be offered and preference will be given to students who have not previously received a subsidy. The subsidy will be awarded on a first come first
serve basis. If we reach 100 responses, the form will be closed. Application link is found here:
