Good English opens doors in every degree. At Highveld University, Nomvula Khumalo tells first-years to read a little every day and write a few lines about it.
Speak up in tutorials, even when you are unsure. Mistakes are how your sentences get stronger.
Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. Malcolm XOur Academic English Writing and Speaking short course gives you weekly practice and feedback from a lecturer. Most students notice a difference within six weeks.
Build a daily reading habit
Fifteen minutes a day beats a long session on Sunday night. Read news articles, study guides and textbook chapters, then note down five new words. Say them aloud so they feel natural when you use them in class.
Get feedback early
Send a short paragraph to your lecturer or visit the writing support desk on our Hatfield campus. Small corrections in week one save you marks in your first assignment and give you confidence to speak.
