English for Academic Purposes support programme 2011/12

(for International Students registered at the University of Southampton only)

If you want to continue to improve your English during your time in Southampton, we offer the following possibilities, all of which are free of charge to students at the University of Southampton.

• Introduction to University Study in the UK

If you are newly arrived at the University of Southampton and would like to receive some general orientation to academic study while learning at the same time, you can find a very useful website (created by a team in the Centre for Language Study) with interactive learning resources and answers to many of your questions about academic study at: www.prepareforsuccess.org.uk

Individual Tutorial Help

We offer tutorial help during the week (Mon-Thurs) between 4pm and 7pm. This can be done online or face-to-face with a tutor. For more information, please go to the Language Advisory Service.
If you have problems doing this, please contact the Language Advising
Service staff at: advising@soton.ac.uk

Self-Access Language Study

We have a wide selection of language learning materials and multi-media resources to help you with your English. These are located in the Language Resources Centre at Hartley Library (near the Reception Desk) and at Avenue Campus, Room 2155 where advisors are available to guide you through the material on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings in term time. You can book a 15-minute session by completing the online booking form. If you have problems doing this, please contact the Language Advising Service staff at: advising@soton.ac.uk
