English proficiency support


English language proficiency support offered to LLM students within the Faculty of Law. It is divided into two parts: workshops and one-on-one tutorials. All students participate in a short English proficiency test (400-word argumentative essay, academic style) upon arrival to Groningen. Based on this test score, students are advised to participate in one of seven workshops dealing with the most problematic areas in English proficiency (punctuation, formality, articles & concord, digital tools, verb phrase & grammar pitfalls, sentence structure, and paragraph structure). All workshops are open to all LLM students. If students have followed the workshops that were suggested to them after the arrival test, they can also participate in one-on-one tutorials. For these tutorials, students can hand in one of their papers or a chapter of their thesis and receive feedback on this written piece by a tutor.
