Campus Conversations: Discussion Groups for International Graduate Students and Postdocs

In small groups, participants meet to discuss topics of interest and practice leading discussions and expressing opinions. An ELP instructor will facilitate, and a Princeton undergraduate will join the discussion.  Groups meet for 6 weeks for an hour at a time to be determined.  To join, email [email protected].

English Language Program Workshops

The ELP offers a variety of workshops, including our Academic Communications series, for international graduate students and postdocs.  Past workshop topics included Delivering Effective Presentations, Pronunciation Workshops, Small Talk and Writing Effective Emails. Our workshops are offered during semester breaks.  

Teaching Support for International AIs

The ELP offers services for graduate students who are currently teaching.  If you feel that you might benefit from additional English language support, we offer individual meetings and/or classroom visits to all types of classes (lecture, lab, or precept).  ELP instructors provide feedback on the effectiveness of your spoken English in the classroom setting.  You can contact us at any point during the semester.  The individual meetings and class visits are not evaluative and the details about our meetings are discussed only with you.
