As an international student, how can I deal with grammar and punctuation difficulties?
Practice reading basic materials to get used to English grammar/ punctuation – start with course handbooks etc as these will be interesting and not too academic/ ambitious to begin with Keep it simple. Pay attention to your feedback to spot the areas of your English that need improved upon. Read your work aloud to native English speakers. Engage verbally, as often as possible, with native English speakers. Buy an introductory book to grammar and punctuation. You will find a number of texts recommended on the website Download the grammar and punctuation help sheet from the Learning Development Service.
