Navigating Academic Writing Writing Groups for International Undergraduate Students

Would you like to talk about US academic writing?
Do you sometimes wonder what your writing assignments mean?
Do you struggle to talk with your professors and classmates about writing?
Would you like to practice US conventions of using sources?

Then you would want to join the FREE writing groups for multilingual students hosted by the Writers Workshop. These groups are specifically for writers whose first language is not English and we will meet in a 4-week session. Topics will be tailored to your needs but may include organizing ideas, understanding different writing tasks, understanding instructors’ responses and using sources. The sessions will be led by an experienced Writers Workshop consultant who understands struggles with writing in English.

• In order to participate, you must attend the informational meeting to sign up and attend ALL sessions. 
• Students who have participated in the Navigating Academic Writing groups in the past are not eligible.

Informational meeting: Wednesday, September 19, 2012 at 3:30 pm, Room 251 Undergraduate Library
