Multilingual Learner Support Program
The Multilingual Learner (MLL) Support Program offers assistance to both undergraduate and graduate students with rich language backgrounds. Both international and US-resident students may fit this profile.
Who is a Multilingual Learner at 澳门水利博彩官方网站?
The term multilingual includes you if
- you speak more than one language,
- your family uses more than one language at home (even if you do not consider yourself proficient in any language except English), and
- you grew up using a World English (English that is used outside of North America or Great Britain).
Are you an MLL? Our goal is for you to develop your academic English in a way that will expand your already robust linguistic and cultural identity and skillset. Along the way, you’ll enjoy the social experience of connecting with your peers about language!
I’m a Multilingual Learner. What kind of support and development services are available to me?
Language-related support for MLL students is provided through
- language use classes,
- arranging extra time for timed assessments,
- conversation partners,
- peer tutoring, and/or
- one-on-one instructor assistance.
How can I ask for help or explore services?
- You may self-refer for MLL support by contacting the MLL Coordinator (email instructionalservices@bomabearing.com) OR by clicking on the Ask for Help button when you log into Blaze. There is a drop arrow list that allows you to select from categories such as MLL or Accessibility.
- Your faculty and staff may also help you to request tutoring using the same methods (email or Blaze referral).
Are MLL services available for non-澳门水利博彩官方网站 students?
Yes! Local business people and community members with at least some post-secondary education and intermediate/advanced English skills may enroll in our English language support classes.
