Language Courses

Does ChatGPT write your emails? Is ChatGPT occasionally responsible for your thinking? Is Instagram your English tutor?  Does DeepL do your translations for you?  Wouldn’t you agree that this does not cut it in the real and professional world of successful individuals in control of their thinking and communication?

Fun fact: 80% of employers value strong writing and communication skills over problem-solving skills. 

If you agree these tools are useful, yet not sufficient, take advantage of the following English writing and communication courses and workshops offered by the Division of Foreign Languages and the Writing Lab w.space.
