| Inhalt | Workshop Title: Academic Writing in English for Doctoral Students in Educational Fields Lecturer: Olivia de Graaf, M.A. This workshop offers you the opportunity to improve your academic English and successfully apply it to your own texts. Together, we will explore the conventions of writing research articles and proposals for an English-speaking audience in the educational sciences. To adhere to these conventions in your own writing, you will learn stylistic and linguistic strategies based on inputs, practical examples, exercises and useful tips. Specifically, we will answer the following questions (among others): - What kind of academic text genres are used in the educational sciences? - What is considered good academic writing in the English-speaking research community of the educational sciences? - What does an Anglophone audience expect from my research articles and proposals? - How do I convey a clear message to my readers? - How should I organize my paper? - How can I create a clear line of argumentation? - What stylistic and linguistic strategies can I use as a non-native speaker of English to improve my academic English? - What are common words and phrases used in academic English? - Where can I find further information on this topic? - … |
