Students in the English Institute can elect two or three of their peers to represent them in the Conseil d’Institut and to serve as an intermediary between the institute staff and the student body. The student representative serves a vital role in institute life, and is therefore taken very seriously.

Writing coach

Writing is among the most important skills students develop during their studies in English language and literature. The first-year course “Literature and Writing Workshop” includes tuition in writing. However, some students find it difficult to put what they have learnt into practice when they come to write papers as part of their seminar assignments. In order to help students in this area, the English Institute has set up a writing coaching service.

This semester (autumn 2025), the student assistant for “writing coaching” is Laurie Boissenin.

Students who are having difficulties in their writing are encouraged to contact her by e-mail in order to go and see her, with either an essay that they must rewrite or an essay that they are currently working on.
