Bentley University graduate students who are English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) can receive English-language support for their academic coursework through the ESOL Center. In the ESOL Center, faculty tutors who specialize in working with multilingual learners provide support for writing assignments, presentations, and general English-language skills.

ESOL Center Help Includes:

• Writing: Students can bring course papers at any stage of the writing process for feedback on clarity, organization, and development.
• Presentation Skills: Students can practice presentations with or without PowerPoint slides and receive feedback on their performances. 
• Pronunciation: Students can work on their English speaking skills based on feedback and suggested strategies for increasing the clarity, stress, and intonation of their pronunciation.
• Speaking and Conversation Practice: Students can practice speaking about academic issues, current events, and other topics of interest. 

Appointments: Weekday and evening appointments are available. Students can schedule appointments up to two weeks in advance through https://bentleyesol.mywconline.net. The ESOL Center offers three types of appointments:

• In-Person Appointments: Students meet with tutors at the ESOL Center (Bentley Library, Lower Level, Room 026).
• Online Appointments: Students meet with tutors through Zoom.
• E-Tutoring Appointments: Students submit their essays to the ESOL Center. A tutor reads the essay, writes feedback, and returns the essay to the student.
