English Language Resources
Make the most of your time at Macquarie with our English language development opportunities.
StudyWISE Resources
Never know where to put the comma? Need some language for presenting? Visit StudyWISE to develop your academic English. Learn how to proofread, punctuate, and present. Make your writing cohesive, concise, and clear. Vary stress and tone to discuss, debate, and deliberate.
Our self-paced, self-study materials provide you with the knowledge, understanding, and confidence to write and speak in academic contexts. Assuming no training in grammar, our resources walk you through everything from recognising subjects and verbs to using intonation to signal subordination.
