Make progress on your speaking in guided sessions
Come to our speaking lab and our practice sessions
Want to make progress on your speaking in a supportive, collaborative environment, guided by your peers and CfAE coaches? Come to our speaking lab or join a guided practice session!
You might want to come to our lab to:
- have a walk-in 1:1 session or group session to receive advice from a CfAE coach
- work in a supportive environment on your assessment
- work on our self-study learning blocks
- work with your friends/peers
- collaborate with your group on a joint assessment
You might also want to rehearse and interact with other university members. Join our speaking and listening practice sessions to:
- try out a presentation in front of an audience
- upgrade your networking strategies
- rehearse viva interactions
- practise taking questions on a poster you've made
If you wish to benefit from regularly working with the same teacher and students, why not register for a full suite of two or four highly-interactive sessions? You also have the flexibility to select individual 1- or 2-hour sessions from any of the suites to build your personal practice programme.
If you wish to join any sessions, make sure you register below!
When and where is our lab?
On Wednesdays and Thursdays from 13.00-15.30 during CfAE term time, you can come at any time - and stay as long as you like. Come and join us in ASL room 316 (access through the Sherfield building).
