Academic Reading Workshop

Do you want to read an academic text more effectively?

  You can do this by learning the pattern, or "code" of academic reading. Academic texts have a common structure, like a code, that they use to make a point or share the results of research. When you can "de-code" an academic text, you will know how to find the information you need faster and be a more confident reader!

 Attend the Academic Reading Workshop to learn how to track the patterns of the academic texts! Call 070 50 21 21 or email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to register for the event! It is open to college students!!!
