ALL UCLL EVENTS HAVE BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!

Our certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.
The workshop will run from February 5 to April 15, 2020. Participants meet weekly on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. There will be no meeting on March 4.
If you have questions, need assistance, or want more information, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll

Aphasia Social Hour (January 14, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80755 80755-20783464@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 14, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: U-M Aphasia Program (UMAP)

Aphasia, a speech-language disorder that can affect all aspects of communication — speaking, reading, writing, comprehension, etc. — is more common than previously understood. Acquired when the brain experiences trauma like that of a stroke or head injury, more than 2 million people in the U.S. are thought to have the disorder; yet, it's not something most people are aware of. It can be incredibly isolating, which is why staying social and connected is especially important.

The University of Michigan Aphasia Program (UMAP) at the University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL), hosts a free, virtual aphasia social hour each week to help facilitate social connecting while practicing communication skills.

All aphasia social hours in January are scheduled for 4 - 5 p.m. Thursdays (Eastern) and will take on the following topics:

*Jan. 14 - Resolve to participate in this session all about — you guessed it — resolutions. Love them? Hate them? Have a funny story about past resolutions? Bring it on.

*Jan. 21 - Hometown Proud! Share about where you’re from or where you now live! Bring maps, photos, and brag (or complain!) about that place where you were brought up.

*Jan. 28 - For us in Michigan, wintertime can mean hunker-time, as in hunker down until spring. But it doesn't have to. As the Nordic people say, "there is no such thing as bad weather, only poor preparation." We're not sure about all that, but come ready to share how you stay active in the winter months, either outdoors or indoors.

Registration is required in order to get the link to join. See: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwlc-qhpjoqGNRqaI3Fepl8dswAWsS6SwuV

When you click the link to register, you can select which weeks you want to participate — all in one place. Sign up for them all to make sure you don't miss out on connecting with others in the aphasia community.

Aphasia Social Hour (January 21, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80755 80755-20783465@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 21, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: U-M Aphasia Program (UMAP)

Aphasia, a speech-language disorder that can affect all aspects of communication — speaking, reading, writing, comprehension, etc. — is more common than previously understood. Acquired when the brain experiences trauma like that of a stroke or head injury, more than 2 million people in the U.S. are thought to have the disorder; yet, it's not something most people are aware of. It can be incredibly isolating, which is why staying social and connected is especially important.

The University of Michigan Aphasia Program (UMAP) at the University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL), hosts a free, virtual aphasia social hour each week to help facilitate social connecting while practicing communication skills.

All aphasia social hours in January are scheduled for 4 - 5 p.m. Thursdays (Eastern) and will take on the following topics:

*Jan. 14 - Resolve to participate in this session all about — you guessed it — resolutions. Love them? Hate them? Have a funny story about past resolutions? Bring it on.

*Jan. 21 - Hometown Proud! Share about where you’re from or where you now live! Bring maps, photos, and brag (or complain!) about that place where you were brought up.

*Jan. 28 - For us in Michigan, wintertime can mean hunker-time, as in hunker down until spring. But it doesn't have to. As the Nordic people say, "there is no such thing as bad weather, only poor preparation." We're not sure about all that, but come ready to share how you stay active in the winter months, either outdoors or indoors.
