About the Seminars:
The ESL Seminar Series for undergraduate students at Brown is designed to address a broad range of relevant linguistic and cultural topics related to succeeding both academically and socially at Brown. Students are required to sign up with Ashley Ferranti, the ESL Coordinator. While some sessions focus on academic language and writing, others work to build vocabulary and appropriate use of idiomatic expressions in spoken English. Students will also enjoy interactive lessons which require them to role-play various scenarios involving faculty, staff, and other students in the American cultural context.
Attendance Policy & Expectations:
Because each seminar will build on the material covered in previous sessions, students who sign up are expected to attend all sessions. Students should also expect to complete and submit short assignments between sessions.
