Language Support Modules
Language Support Modules are implemented by the Office of Learning and Teaching. Students across all of Curtin Malaysia’s faculties are welcome to attend the modules on a walk-in basis (face-to-face), based on the schedule below.
The Language Support Modules cover areas such as referencing, paraphrasing, grammar, academic writing, and others. Each module is about an hour, and features exercises and examples alongside the language component.
The modules are aimed at providing language support for students to better prepare their coursework and assignments, and produce work of a higher quality. All modules are taught by a qualified Academic Skills Advisor, who will also be available for consultations to all students.
