Conversation Club: Visiting Scholars Community

SP25-2-9

This Conversation Club is designed for Visiting Scholars at Purdue to discuss their experiences, including both challenges and successes. Unlike a formal course, a Conversation Club offers a more casual setting where learners can meet regularly with the instructor and fellow participants from various fields. This Conversation Club is specifically for learners with lower-level English skills, aiming to build fluency and confidence in speaking through regular meetings held twice a week. While most sessions will take place in our classroom to discuss in smaller groups about topics related to Visiting Scholars at Purdue or daily issues in the city, several lessons will be field trips to different locations on campus, such as a gallery, the Purdue Writing Lab, or a cultural center, providing opportunities to practice English in real-world settings.

Clear Writing: Sentences & Paragraphs

SP25-2-7

This course will teach principles, skills, and strategies of clear writing to help students manage language more effectively at the level of sentences and paragraphs. Students will learn specific features that make sentences easier (or harder) for readers to process. Through analysis of texts and writing practice exercises, students will learn how to read like writers and write for readers. More

Conversation Club: Campus Connections

SP25-2-8

This class is a bit different from our other classes that meet in a specific classroom. This class is about getting out of the classroom, to see new and interesting places around the campus and nearby community. Dr. Joseph Sorell is the instructor in charge of the Campus Connections group. Each week, Dr. Sorell will organize one field trip and one or more informal class meetings to prepare for or discuss that trip. Please respond to the survey link in the syllabus to help him gauge the interest in each event. After you sign up for this class, Dr. Sorell will follow up with you to provide a more detailed schedule and details on how to participate. The times here on GSMU are tentative. • Students do not need to come to every event. Instead, this class is more like joining a club for the semester—you will be on the mailing list and be invited to weekly events. More
