International Center for Academic and Professional English (ICAPE)

Academic Literacies Workshops Fall 2023: Designed for multilingual, international students, our workshops enhance English language skills and develop a deeper understanding of American academic culture. These workshops are open to all Lehigh undergraduate and graduate students, staff, faculty, and Bethlehem community members.

Workshop Description: Do you avoid small talk because you worry about making mistakes and broaching topics inappropriately? Do you wonder how long small talk should be or how to transition from small talk to academic or professional communication?  Do you want to create friendly relationships with peers and professors in both spoken and written English interactions? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, this workshop is for you. This interactive workshop will help you feel more confident about getting involved on campus and expanding your Lehigh network.
