English for Academic Purposes Testimonials
"We’d recommend Professional English modules to all undergraduate students who speak English as an additional language and want to develop their fluency and vocabulary. We have students who have completed pre-sessional English courses over the summer, but are not yet confident across their speaking, writing, and listening skills. This gives them a significant additional barrier to overcome on their arrival in Huddersfield, and Professional English has really helped us to help them as they settle in, adjust to UK-style teaching and studying, and make friends. Those students who have engaged with their Professional English classes have improved dramatically, not just in their English language skills, but also in their overall engagement, confidence, and integration into the wider subject area. We have timetabled all incoming direct entry students for Professional English (for credit where course structures allow), and this has been absolutely essential in ensuring positive outcomes for these students this year." Catherine Haworth, Senior Lecturer in Music, June 2023
"The speaking aspect of the module was really useful and it helped us a lot for life in the UK as it allowed us to adapt to the environment here a lot quicker." Wenzhe, April 2023
"This was my first time in the UK and at first I would be afraid to communicate with people, but the classroom atmosphere was good so I overcame this." Menjie, April 2023
As a new student living in a new country, this module helped me to get used to the new lifestyle, integrate with local society more easily and catch up with the course. Jiaqi, April 2023
"Studying the English course alongside my university course allowed me to read between the lines and understand important things in depth such as paraphrasing, writing style, references and literature review - and this was all done really well in a nice atmosphere." Mohamed-kalefa, May 2022
"Personally, this language course has helped me to a great extent. Besides learning new words, I have learned more about academic/professional English, and how to speak and write more articulately. And the course has helped me to improve in other courses such as with my essays and reports." Zizhou, March 2021
"Amazing course with a lot of relevant and useful information. The tutor made studying not only interesting and knowledgeable, but also fun!" Ksenija, March 2021
