The Institute for Writing and Rhetoric provides a variety of support for students who are not native speakers of English.
Judith Hertog, English as a Second Language Specialist, provides free English-language assistance to international graduate students for whom English is not a first language.
Students can schedule free private consultations with Ms. Hertog to receive ESL assistance on writing projects or presentations, or to improve specific English skills.One-time appointments are available, as well as weekly, or bi-weekly appointments.
The ESL specialist can also work with faculty to identify the needs of their students, and she can provide faculty with periodic progress reports.
Undergraduate students seeking advice on writing should visit our online writing materials. See in particular our advice for ESL writers.
RWIT (the Student Center for Research, Writing, and Information Technology) offers support to all students seeking to improve their writing. To make an appointment (and to learn more about this valuable service) visit the RWIT website.
