English Language Skills Development

Speaking and Listening Skills

Students frequently tell us how developing a sense of community and belonging are crucial to their ability to fully participate in their programme and maximise their time at Exeter. The courses and workshops in this suite will help you to build your confidence and fluency in social and professional settings, as well as improving skills for lectures and seminar participation.

Here you will also find details of our Family Class, which is a course for the spouses and partners of international students and staff.

Listening Skills

Many students find that one of the biggest challenges that they face when they first arrive at the University is adapting to listening to lectures in English. This can have a significant impact on your confidence and on your academic performance. We created this course to provide practical strategies for making the most of lectures. 

It can be a really good idea to combine a listening skills course with pronunciation workshops, as there can be a link between the two.

There are two possibilities to take this course. Click on the links below to sign up.

Pronunciation Workshops

4 workshops [repeated twice in the term] designed to extend strategies for clarity of expression and, thus success in communicating ideas, by focusing on sound, stress and intonation in English. This also has an impact on listening comprehension and interpretation of meaning beyond that given by choice of vocabulary and grammatical structures.

Developing your skills in Intercultural Communication

Education and the workplace are increasingly international. Working with people from other cultures provides diverse perspectives, alternative approaches to problem solving, and opportunities to challenge unconscious bias. However, lack of cultural awareness can create barriers to successful communication.

Students attending this workshop will explore differences between cultures and learn about the challenges that these differences can create for effective interaction. They will also be able to share their own experiences and perspective, and working on classroom activities they will develop practical skills that they can apply to academic study, group work and career readiness
