Pamela Bogart from the U-M English Language Institute (ELI) invites you to a Zoom conversation to learn about ELI courses and other resources to support graduate students who speak English as an additional language. 


ELI offers credit-bearing academic English courses (free to full-time students) to support you through all stages of your academic career. ELI classes are small, interactive, and provide students with extensive one-on-one feedback. 


In addition, the ELI also offers one-on-one speaking and writing support, opportunities for informal language practice, and one-time workshops. 


ELI can help you communicate effectively and excel in your coursework and research. We look forward to meeting you!
