Meet our student crew Arzu at the Main University entrance, Level 5 Owen building on Sunday 23 October at 10am, returning around 2pm.
We have an opportunity to meet with British students and chat to them about your home country, culture and school!
The group of students are training to be teachers and would like to research schools around the world. They would like to meet you to talk about what school was like in your country, the uniform, the school day, which subjects are taught etc.
You are not expected to be an expert, just give your own opinion of school in your home country. This project has been running for 8 years and has been represented by schools from all across the globe and this is your chance to represent yours!
This is a fantastic opportunity to meet British students and share and compare your culture, finding out how schools around the world differ and what we could learn from this.
If you are interested in finding out more and are free for an hour and a half on Wednesday 2nd November please message Andrew at a.bromley@shu.ac.uk.

That is where the Academic Phrasebook can help you to become a better critical writer. It has information about how to be critical, to compare and contrast arguments and how to give examples to reinforce and validate your claims in an essay.
There is also a section on how to ensure that you are referencing and using your sources correctly, making sure that you are not only avoiding plagiarism, but also making the most of your additional wider reading.
