Need Academic English Support? Enroll in Part-Time Academic English Courses

Adjusting to the demands of university can be difficult. Reading academic articles, writing well-organized essays, participating in class discussions and giving dynamic presentations are just some of the challenges students face in their academic life. Adjusting to a new culture can also present its own unique difficulties. If English isn’t your first language, such challenges can feel a bit overwhelming.

The English Language Centre offers Part-Time Academic English Courses (PTAEC) to students whose first language is not English. The PTAEC are affordable, non-credit language courses which support students by providing them with the tools and strategies they need to master academic English language skills.

Five reasons to enroll in Part-Time Academic English Courses:

• Convenient: Courses are delivered remotely and in-person at Fort Garry and Bannatyne campuses.
• Class size: 10-15 students per class provides lots of one-on-one interaction with your instructor and classmates.
• Interactive: All courses are live and facilitated by highly experienced English language experts.
• Affordable: Only $150 per 30-hour course, and $50 for a 10-hour course. This equals $5 an hour!
  • 3 hours once per week for 10 weeks, with the exception of the NEW *Paraphrasing & Summarizing Skills course (2 hours once per week for 5 weeks).
• Fun: Meet other students and practice your English in a supportive environment!
