Communication and Language Learning Services

ACCMAN's Communication and Language Learning team helps students develop their communication and language skills which is particularly useful for students coming from smaller towns and for those who are from deprived backgrounds. The team provides students with guidance and resources not only for English language development but on all aspects of their learning related to communication and interpersonal skills. This includes strategies for adapting to campus life, managing new expectations and workloads, personality development, and developing academic literacies required in particular courses and discipline areas. Students can access Communication and Language Learning support through both face-to-face via workshops and electronically via a range of online resources. The Communication and Language Learning team also assists academic staff to include academic and professional literacies in their curriculum to help career and professional development of the students.
