This course, which is for non-native speakers, will cover all the main aspects of English pronunciation. It will take place on Tuesdays (09:00am to 11:00am) and will start online. However, depending on the wishes of the participants, it may be possible to have face-to-face teaching later in the course. When online, we will meet together for approximately one hour, and then reconvene in smaller groups of three or four, for extra practice, after the Tuesday class. The practice sessions will be 20 minutes per group (groups/times to suit, to be arranged in class). If you have any questions or would like further information, please email Helen East (hre21@cam.ac.uk).

Writing for Engineers Refining papers for publishing: a course for post-docs In this course we will work directly with text written by you, the course participants. We will analyse and edit extracts from draft and published papers, always with the aim of honing the language to improve clarity, precision and style. In doing so we will explore questions of grammar and key concepts in academic writing, learning to identify weaker areas and developing expertise in improving them. The course consists of four workshops followed by one individual supervision.
