Giving advice is a common part of our roles at the university. This can include giving advice about courses, exams, or even about the best place to go for lunch between lectures! This mini-workshop looks at how to give advice in English, with a focus on useful phrases which can be used in many situations.

We often have to give rules - orally or in written form - at our university. For example, we need to tell students what they are allowed to or not allowed to do in the library, what they must do for their lectures and seminars, or what they should do if they want to go on a semester abroad - and much more. In this workshop, we will practice useful phrases for giving rules in English (with a grammar focus on modal verbs) so that you can feel confident when explaining rules to people in the future.

This course focuses on practical usages of grammar for advanced learners. It is aimed at those who have a good command of the English language who are looking for the opportunity to review and revise specific grammatical aspects with a practical link to their work at the university. We will deal with a variety of topics which often cause problems for learners of English, including the tenses, and you will have the opportunity to request topics you would like to look at.
