English Writing Center

The ENGLISH WRITING CENTER (formerly English Writing Lab) will be offered again this semester, and tutors are there to

• check your writing task for problems (and find solutions; tutor does not correct, but rather point out)
• listen to your talk or presentation (prerecorded on a sound file, and the two of you listen to it together)
• go over presentation points to help with layout and structuring of the presentation
• listen to your ideas re a presentation
• listen to you read a text  (pronunciation practice)
• listen to your reading (prerecorded on a sound file, and the two of you listen to it together)

WRITING tasks are to be typed, 12 font and at 1.5 line-spacing (Zeilenabstand).  No handwritten papers, please!

Mandatory for all English students taking part in a GLP 1 or GLP 2 course, but students from all fields of study are welcome.
