Consider an online class this summer designed for both matriculated Berkeley students and visiting international students.

The Summer English Language Studies program offers online courses focusing on

* academic skill development (like academic writing or grammar and vocabulary),

* discipline-specific skills (like oral skills in business or legal contexts), and

* timely topics (like Issues in AI, science and innovation, social media, consumerism, and more).
