I took the English for Academic Purposes course at Stanmore School of Business to improve my language skills for my PhD research. The course was pretty cool, and I liked how it was structured. We learned about different types of academic writing, like essays and research papers, and got to practice them in class. The instructor was really helpful, and the feedback I got on my assignments was useful. One thing that really helped me was learning about academic vocabulary and how to use it in context. Now, I feel more confident when I'm reading and writing academic texts in English. The course materials were good, but sometimes I felt like they were a bit too basic. Overall, I'm happy with the course, and I think it was worth taking.

Wow, what an amazing course! I'm so glad I took the English for Academic Purposes course at Stanmore School of Business. As a researcher in Japan, I need to publish papers in international journals, and this course helped me develop the skills I needed to do that. The instructor was fantastic, and the course materials were incredibly useful. I loved how we got to practice presenting our research in class - it really helped me build my confidence and improve my speaking skills. One of the most valuable things I learned was how to write a clear and concise abstract, which is essential for getting my research published. The course was challenging, but it was also really rewarding. I feel like I've made huge progress in my English language skills, and I'm excited to apply them in my future research.

I must say, the English for Academic Purposes course at Stanmore School of Business was a thoroughly enjoyable and enlightening experience. As a lecturer at a university in South Africa, I was seeking to refine my language skills to better support my students and enhance my own research capabilities. The course provided a comprehensive overview of academic English, with a particular focus on writing, reading, and speaking skills. I appreciated the detailed feedback provided by the instructor, which enabled me to identify areas for improvement and work on refining my language use. The course materials were of high quality, and I found the online discussions with my peers to be a valuable aspect of the course. While I did encounter some technical issues with the online platform, the support team was responsive and helpful in resolving these issues. Overall, I am satisfied with the course and would recommend it to colleagues and students seeking to improve their academic English skills.
