English Skills Workshop at Zhuhai

Venue:C212 at the Teaching Building

Time:19:00-20:20 AM, November 25 (Fri.), 2016

English Curriculum Project Team, Department of Philosophy (Zhuhai)

Many students want to know English writing and speaking skills in addition to their courses mediated in English at SYSU. The Department of Philosophy (Zhuhai) at Sun Yat‐sen University is pleased to organize the English language workshop. The objective of this workshop is to provide students with the basic skills to work in an international, English‐speaking environment. By attending the workshop students will be prepared to communicate in an English speaking working environment, to write essays in English, and to hear about the experience of Chinese scholars who have lived and worked abroad.

In particular, the English Backbone Curriculum Project Team will offer 3 sessions: writing skills, formal English conversation, and shared experiences of Chinese students abroad. The writing skills session will explain how to write an essay, how to construct a philosophical argument, and how to use references. The second will explore topics such as e‐mail writing, formal English conversation and manners. The third session will address the difficulties that a Chinese native speaker may face in an English‐speaking environment and how to overcome these. This workshop is funded by the English Backbone Curriculum Project at Sun Yat‐sen University.
