English as a Second Language (ESL) for
Scientists Apply by August 1, 2013
Apply online at:
http://bwhcfdd.partners.org/Listing.aspx?courseId=138
The Office for Research Careers, Center for Faculty Development and Diversity, and the Biomedical
Research Institute are pleased to offer English as a Second Language for Scientists. The course is geared
toward postdoctoral fellows, and other BWH researchers may apply and will be accepted as space
allows. This course is designed to improve the communication skills of postdoctoral research fellows
whose first language is not English and to help integrate them into their English-speaking environment.
Class instruction will be highly interactive and conversation-based. Class size is limited so that each
student is able to speak often and receive significant and useful feedback. Two or three course levels will
be offered, geared toward the majority of the participants, and based upon the results of placement
testing. Courses will be held onsite at BWH, once weekly.
