I'm thrilled to have taken the 'English for Academic Purposes' course at Stanmore School of Business! As a non-native English speaker pursuing my master's in the US, I needed to improve my academic writing and presentation skills. This course exceeded my expectations. The instructor's feedback on my assignments was invaluable, and I appreciated the emphasis on critical thinking and analytical writing. I've seen significant improvement in my ability to craft well-structured essays and deliver confident presentations. The course materials were relevant, up-to-date, and comprehensive. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their academic English skills.

I took the 'English for Academic Purposes' course to prepare for my PhD program, and it was a great decision. The course covered a wide range of topics, from academic vocabulary to research paper writing. I found the lessons on citation styles and plagiarism particularly helpful. The course materials were well-organized, and the instructor was responsive to our questions. One thing that could be improved is the discussion forum engagement - sometimes it felt like we were just posting our thoughts without much interaction. Nevertheless, I'm satisfied with the course and feel more confident in my ability to produce high-quality academic writing.

I appreciated the focus on critical thinking, analysis, and evaluation - it really helped me develop a more nuanced understanding of academic English. I'm so grateful to have taken this course and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their academic English skills!

I enrolled in the 'English for Academic Purposes' course to improve my research paper writing skills, and I'm generally satisfied with the outcome. The course provided a thorough overview of academic English, covering topics such as grammar, vocabulary, and citation styles. I found the lessons on academic writing structure and coherence particularly useful. The course materials were well-structured, and the instructor provided detailed feedback on our assignments. One area for improvement could be the addition of more interactive activities, such as peer review and group discussions. Nevertheless, I feel more confident in my ability to produce well-organized and clearly written research papers. The course was a valuable investment of my time, and I would recommend it to others looking to enhance their academic English skills.
