It will be appreciated if you could share this information with students whose first language is not English. Last term, students reported that they enjoyed connecting with fellow graduate students, as it gave them a sense of belonging to a community. The vast majority of students reported that the skills they developed were directly applicable to their course work and academic performance. For a variety of reasons (convenience, no commuting, student comfort) we have seen strong attendance in our remote courses. A new course, Intercultural Communication, is now available to help students communicate more confidently with people from cultures that may be quite different from their own. All courses will continue to be: * 3 hours in duration * 1 time per week for 10 weeks * 10-15 students per class * Synchronous and interactive (with modest amounts of asynchronous work) * Facilitated by highly experienced English for Academic Purposes instructors Course fee: $150 per course (This equals $5 an hour) Winter 2021 term schedule: Course number Course name Day(s) Start Time End Time Start Date End Date ESLC 0260 (A01) Conversation and Discussion TH 6:00pm 9:00pm Jan 28 Apr 8 ESLC 0260 (A02) Conversation and Discussion W 8:00am 11:00am Jan 27 Apr 7 ESLC 0294 Intercultural Communication TH 6:00pm 9:00pm Jan 28 Apr 8 ESLC 0250 (A01) Oral Presentations W 6:00pm 9:00pm Jan 27 Apr 7 ESLC 0250 (A02) Oral Presentations TH 8:00am 11:00am Jan 28 Apr 8 ESLC 0270 (A01) Pronunciation T 6:00pm 9:00pm Jan 26 Apr 6 ESLC 0270 (A02) Pronunciation W 6:00pm 9:00pm Jan 27 Apr 7 ESLC 0230 (A01) Effective Academic Writing TH 6:00pm 9:00pm Jan 28 Apr 8 ESLC 0230 (A02) Effective Academic Writing T 8:00am 11:00am Jan 26 Apr 6 ESLC 0240 Critical Reading and Summary Writing W 6:00pm 9:00pm Jan 27 Apr 7 ESLC 0220 Grammar Review T 6:00pm 9:00pm Jan 26 Apr 6 ESLC 0210 (A01) Research Writing for Graduate Students W 8:00am 11:00am Jan 27 Apr 7 ESLC 0210 (A02) Research Writing for Graduate Students T 6:00pm 9:00pm Jan 26 Apr 6 ESLC 0292 Oral English for Graduate Students TH 6:00pm 9:00pm Jan 28 Apr 8 Class enrolment is limited, so early registration is recommended.
