The International Center for Academic and Professional English (ICAPE) has announced its Fall 2025 workshop schedule, offering multilingual students and scholars opportunities to strengthen communication skills and build community at Lehigh.
Lehigh University's International Center for Academic and Professional English (ICAPE) has released its Fall 2025 workshop schedule designed to support multilingual speakers of English in their academic and professional work.
“Our workshops can help with aspects of academic language use students might not typically learn in traditional classes, such as style and grammar in academic writing, oral presentation skills, and pronunciation skills for U.S. English,” said Mike O’Neill, Language Specialist at ICAPE.
“We also offer social events for students to get to know each other and build a sense of community, as well as specialized workshops for teaching assistants who are new to U.S. academic culture," O'Neill said. "Lastly, these workshops are open to Lehigh faculty, staff, and spouses.”
