The Language Workshop
The Language Workshop offers academic language support for all students and PhD students at Uppsala University. We offer free tutorials and lectures on academic writing and oral presentation skills in English and Swedish, as well as academic reading strategies.
Students with reading and writing disabilities are eligible for extra support from the Language Workshop.
Welcome to two hours of focused reading
The Language Workshop invites everyone interested in focused reading. We will read individually in the same room for about 25 minutes, with breaks in-between. During the breaks you have the opportunity to ask about e.g. reading strategies and other things pertaining to the reading of academic texts such as course literature or research articles.
Bring the text(s) you want to read. It can be in any language – but preferably printed on paper or a physical book. You will be encouraged to leave your phone, tablet and computer in your bag to lower the risk of you or anyone else in the room being distracted.
All students and staff at Uppsala University are welcome to join us. No pre-registration needed.
