English Poetry Workshop

On the 18th of November, Ms. Sylvie Raymond gave a workshop on English Poetry at the UAEU Writing Center. Students who attended the workshop thought that it was very beneficial and interesting, and many of them have attempted to write their own poems ever since. Here are a few pictures from the event:

Suggestion Box

The Writing Center has recently added a "Suggestion Box" to ask for students' feedback. It can be found right on the coffee table as you walk into the Writing Center. Should you have any comments, suggestions, or complaints, please write them on a piece of paper and put them in the box. We will later on gather the slips and check them.


Thank you for coming to the Writing Center. Your input is of great value to us.

English Majles

On Tuesday the 29th of September, peer tutor Ferdy gave a workshop titled "English Majles" at Seih Bin Ammar male student hostel. The workshop was very entertaining, and included various activities such as games and English practice.

The first game was a guessing game, the second was a spelling bee, and the last one was a whispering game. The students were divided into two groups. These are the pictures taken at the event:
