Introduction

Welcome to the Academic English section of Achieve@Uni. English can be a complicated language and the reading and writing you do at La Trobe can be more complicated than regular English. The information here will help you get used to Academic English. Look at ‘Class participation’ to maximise your benefit from being involved in your classes. ‘Grammar’ will address some key grammar items that are important for university. Check out ‘Tips for developing your English’ to improve in the sub-skills of reading, writing, listening, speaking, and vocabulary.
