Academic writing workshop
Do you need to improve your academic writing skills in English? Then sign up for the workshop, open to all faculty members at the Faculty of Arts.
The workshop will focus on qualities of good academic writing, including sentence clarity, sentence variety and cohesion, as well as on revising and proofreading strategies and some common grammar and usage errors. The workshop will include instructor presentations, guided discussions, practical exercises, and instructor and peer-to-peer feedback on participants’ own writing projects.
Prior to the start of the workshop, participants will be expected to submit a 4-5-page research article in progress. For homework, participants will be asked to prepare constructive feedback on their peers’ research writing, revise and develop their own piece of research writing based on peer and teacher feedback, and complete a few short assignments on the topics covered in the workshop.
In addition, they will be invited to read selected articles on academic writing in English.
The workshop is free and open to all faculty members at the Faculty of Arts (not including PhD students).
