Academic English - A little discovery

I know that students who are new to higher education struggle with writing ‘academic’ English. It can be difficult to get used to writing in this new style which requires you to acknowledge sources and reference your material appropriately. Not to mention writing introductions, conclusions and linking paragraphs back to the questions and to preceding and successive paragraphs.

The OU has a very nice 8-weeks-long course to help with this. It is called “English: Skills for learning” and it is a FREE course that I’ve found to be excellent at starting you on the skills you need to cope with an undergraduate degree, in law as well as any other.

The course has built in exercises and quizzes to aid in developing the writing skills you will need. At the end, you can download a certificate. Take a look at it.
