Workshop: Improving English fluency and accuracy using My Words and Check My Words



Do you need to improve your English
- Vocabulary?
- Pronunciation?
- Accuracy?
- Fluency?
This workshop will show you how to become a better speaker and writer of English in your own time and at your own pace, using online tools developed at UST.
My Words is a vocabulary-learning website that allows you to add words from any website and learn these words systematically (meanings, pronunciations, collocations and more):
Check My Words is a toolbar for Microsoft Word that gives you access to a wide range of writing resources that explain common errors, help you never use the wrong word again, correct any English phrase, and much more.
