This summer, A&L’s staff will be offering two sections of the Graduate Language Intensive (GLI)—one online and one on campus. This 1-credit summer course provides incoming graduate students with a linguistic, cultural, and academic foundation for advanced study and serves as an introduction to academic culture in the US.
GLI is designed for multilingual and international students who want to expand their English-language skills in preparation for writing, critique, presentations, understanding lectures and advanced readings, and other grad school communication work. This is not a traditional language class; all course materials are drawn from academic fields and interests surrounding your graduate study at RISD.
Here’s more information on the course and registration.
