Academic English
The reading, writing and presentation skills that university study demands.
Academic English at Babelingua prepares you to read dense source material, structure an argument in writing, cite properly, and present your work with confidence. It pairs naturally with IELTS Academic or TOEFL iBT preparation, and is available as one-to-one lessons or in small groups.
What you'll work on
Six academic skills
Reading source material
Work through dense academic texts efficiently — skimming for argument, reading closely for evidence.
Structured writing
Build essays and reports with a clear thesis, coherent paragraphing and appropriate academic register.
Citation and referencing
Quote, paraphrase and cite correctly, and avoid the accidental plagiarism that trips up second-language writers.
Seminar participation
Ask questions, disagree politely and hold your position in a discussion.
Presentations
Structure a talk, signpost clearly and field questions with confidence.
Listening to lectures
Follow extended academic speech and take notes that are actually usable afterwards.
