In this workshop, we will develop a broad range of skills to communicate your scientific ideas most effectively through writing in English. This workshop is the first of two parts, but it can also be taken independently without attending the second part.This workshop, together with its second part later this month, will address how academic writers can best express themselves, what criteria a well-written English paper needs to fulfil, and how the writing and publication process can be managed most productively. We will, on the one hand, discuss important strategies for developing powerful English sentences, paragraphs, and texts that meet the expectations of readers, reviewers, and editors alike. On the other hand, we are going to analyze your work in progress to practice how to efficiently organize your writing and how to successfully prepare your papers for publication. The first part of the workshop focuses on techniques for drafting a professional and reader-friendly text while the second part will address issues of using academic language properly and effectively. Topics of Part 1:
- Understanding the nature of professional academic writing in English;
- Getting started with writing your text and overcoming any potential obstacles;
- Defining the focus and purpose of a research paper, proposal, dissertation, or any other academic text;
- Developing adequate outlines for introductions;
- Recognizing the overall structural organization of research writing;
- Creating powerful abstracts and titles;
- Organizing your findings logically and coherently into parts of a text;
- Constructing well-focused paragraphs;
- Completing a writing project successfully.
This first part of the workshop is designed as an introduction to academic writing and publishing and develops a deeper understanding of how to construct research papers and other academic texts and how to organize one's writing best. You will get an opportunity to apply this to your own writing in the second part of the workshop. Further information on the practical part of the workshop will be given in class
