Free English classes for grads

 

Next time you find it difficult to understand your TA's foreign accent, just consider how hard it may be for them to understand yours. 

Around 3,000 international graduate students are currently enrolled at NYU. Many of those students struggle with their limited conversational English skills on a daily basis.

In response, the Office of Student Affairs is offering free English conversation groups in conjunction with the American Language Institute. Each class meets once a week for a total of 10 sessions in various locations across campus ranging from the Kimmel Center to the Midtown Center on West 42nd Street.

 

Xingyu Wang, a graduate student studying chemistry, is required by his department to take English lessons since he works with undergraduate students.
