Resources for English Language Learners

密歇根州立大学丹佛 serves a diverse group of students and faculty. We recognize that language is one facet of who we are. It makes us unique, and also brings us together. Regardless of if English is your first, 第二个, 第三, 或者第四语言, there’s an opportunity for everyone to learn more about writing. 

It’s okay if you don’t feel — or have never felt — “fluent.”

We know that there are many kinds of English, all of which are acceptable. Linguists and we in the 写作中心 know that no form of English is better than any other. Unfortunately, some people judge and have opinions about “Proper English.” And trying to meet the expectation of someone like this could make you anxious. 

We’re here to provide support and make a plan to help you grow as a writer and a student while supporting you, 作为人类, 最重要的是. 

We’ve compiled several resources to help culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students if you’re looking to expand your knowledge of the English language. And, it’s important to note that linguistically diverse is a title that is inclusive to all of us.

How Can the 写作中心 支持 Your English Writing Journey?

The 写作中心 can help build your foundation of the English language and provide information on language skills you may have missed in school or never received in your previous learning.

We support culturally and linguistically diverse students at all stages by meeting you where you are. We make a point to show you the respect you deserve as an individual with your own history, 经验, 独特的声音. 

We offer individualized consulting for any 密歇根州立大学丹佛 student or alumni to help them reach their writing goals. 

Even if you don’t know where to start, our consultants can help:

• Pick a topic for your papers
• Clarify and organize your ideas
• Research information that supports your argument
• Draft a writing assignment
• Provide you with tools for revising your work
• Share citation best practices
• Improve the overall clarity of your ideas in your paper
