Academic Writing in English: Style and Expression
Inhalte
In this two-day course, participants will have the chance to workshop their writing and refine their skills in more advanced academic English expression. In this way, helpful principles will be introduced with participants then having the opportunity to put them into practice in their own real-world writing. Each half day is intended to respond to participants’ preferred focus areas, which may include:
- Knowing when and how to employ informal and formal English.
- Using transition and signpost words to aid flow.
- Mastering common ‘academic’ punctuation and writing with concision.
- Employing varied sentence structure when recounting methods.
- Learning to write without language bias (including gender bias).
- Confidently referring to and critiquing other work.
This course is particularly suited to those from any discipline and at any point in their PhD who would like to gain confidence around the subtleties of English style and nuanced expression in an academic environment. To get the most from this course, participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own real-world examples (especially their problem sentences) to the workshops.
