English as a Second Language Writing Workshop:

Verb Tenses in Academic Writing—Issues and Strategies

This two-hour English as a second language (ESL) workshop will focus on the use of verb tenses in academic writing. The choice of verb tenses represents a challenging task for ESL learners, including ESL writers. This is partly due to transfer from a student’s native/first language, whose grammar system may lack tenses (e.g., Chinese). Through a series of steps and interactive activities, we will raise the awareness of self-editing with respect to the correct use of verb tenses in various academic genres, ranging from essays to research articles. Open to all UConn students.
