Spoken English Language Partners (SELP)
Summer Seminars


Spoken English Language Programs (SELP) in the School of Graduate Studies will offer a free in-person four-week Seminar in Culture and Communication on Wednesdays this summer from June 7 to June 28, 2023, 2:45 pm - 4:00 pm. The seminar is open to all graduate and professional international students and postdocs. In this seminar, students will gain a deeper understanding of US culture while improving spoken English skills.

During this seminar, students will participate in thoughtful discussions and authentic situations with instructors and campus guests for confidently communicating in English. Seminar enrollment will be kept small enough for ample time to practice spoken English.
Topics will include US academic and social culture, idioms, networking, language pragmatics, and small talk.

The seminar is open to all graduate and professional international students and postdocs. In this seminar, students will practice intonation, reductions, linking, deletion, assimilation, palatalization, and other skills for speaking English more fluently.
 
Class enrollees will participate in thoughtful discussions and authentic situations with instructors and campus guests for confidently communicating in English. Seminar enrollment will be kept small enough for ample time to practice spoken English.
 
You are welcome to request enrollment in either or both seminars. However, seminar program participants will be asked to attend at least three of the four sessions in order to be enrolled. Wives, husbands, or partners are also able to request enrollment.
 
To enroll, email Eric Moore, Director of Spoken English Language Programs, at eric.moore2@case.edu to request a seat.
