Aims | This course aims to develop the essential skills and knowledge that graduate students need for their academic writing assignments in English. The tasks, activities and discussions are richly varied, ranging from small-scale language points to studying the discourse of a chosen discipline. The syllabus takes students step-by-step through the process of constructing a research paper paying special attention to the languge points that are particularly challenging to nonnative English speakers. Furthermore, students are instructed to perform a number of research tasks to find out the conventions in the discipline and analyze the features of good and less successful examples ranging from scholarly work to student papers. |
Learning outcomes | By the end of this course, students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate a good command of using the appropriate linguistic features typical for an academic writing style in English at B2/C1 level; 2. Plan and structure their academic writing assignments effectively; 3. Identify author’s main claims, and supporting points; 4. Prepare an annotated bibliography for a selection of sources; 5. Demonstrate the understanding of ethical issues which are relevant to academic writing; 6. Use electronic environments to draft, revise, edit, and share texts. |
