Do you speak “word-by-word” and pause too often, or run your words together without pausing enough?  This workshop will show you the technique of “thought-chunking” — grouping your ideas in a natural manner, emphasizing focus words and adding intonation, and pausing effectively for clear and natural speech!  The technique will be helpful for International TAs who are responsible for communicating well in help sessions, office hours, and classroom teaching support.   

Speak English with Confidence

Would you like to feel more comfortable speaking English in academic, professional, and everyday life situations?  These workshops are designed to support international students and scholars, and other non-native speakers, with polishing oral communication skills.  Resources for independent practice will also be provided.
