Online-Workshop: Scientific and Academic Writing in English

Even for those who have attained a high level of written English, there are many small points of grammar and style that can confuse and hamper the non-native writer.  We will focus on these and other language questions in a systematic manner, while building on your store of academic vocabulary and expressions. There are regular writing tasks to practice the skills learnt, with feedback following each exercise.

Contents

• How to be productive - Essential tips
• Using appropriate phraseology
• 3 methods for analysing your structure
• Achieving a good ‘flow’ of ideas and expression
• Accuracy in definition
• Developing your ability to edit your work
• Presenting data and data commentary
• Understanding the most common mistakes

This course also offers the opportunity to work on a short piece of your own writing, in collaboration with your colleagues on the course and the native-speaking course leader.

In the following video, your trainer Mark Edwards introduces you to the workshop in more detail:
