I'd say the Certificate in English for Academic Purposes (Advanced) course was a solid choice for me. As a researcher in Brazil, I needed to improve my English skills to publish papers in international journals and participate in global conferences. The course provided a comprehensive overview of academic English, covering topics like research methods, academic writing, and presentation skills. I found the course materials to be relevant and well-organized, with a good balance of individual and group work. The instructors were knowledgeable and responsive, offering valuable feedback on assignments. One area for improvement could be more opportunities for peer interaction and feedback. Nonetheless, I gained practical skills in writing abstracts, designing posters, and delivering presentations, which will undoubtedly benefit my career. I'd recommend this course to those seeking to enhance their English skills for academic purposes, particularly those in fields like science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
