EAL Graduate Writing Camp

EAL Graduate Writing Camp is designed to help graduate students who have English as an additional language develop their writing and grammar skills.  

The camp includes workshops on the following topics: 

• Basic grammar and sentence structure 
• Sentence structure errors and advanced grammar 
• Developing logic, style, and argument (sentences and paragraphs) 
• Paraphrasing strategies  
• Integrating sources (language for quoting and paraphrasing)   

You will also have independent writing time to: 

• Practice new skills learned in this program.

There will be time for discussions and reflections to explore challenges and solutions in small groups.
