Academic writing

Target group: doctoral researchers

Today, good scientific writing skills in the English language are important for your academic and professional journey. A key challenge is expressing complex ideas in a clear, precise and readable text. The aim of this workshop is to improve your ability to structure your texts and to express complex scientific ideas clearly and concisely.

On the first day, you will receive input on how to improve your writing, do exercises and interact in small groups and apply what you have learnt to improve your own text. In the 1.5-hour feedback sessions in small groups on the second day, you will give and receive individual feedback on each other’s texts. You will therefore leave the workshop with a better awareness of your strengths and weaknesses.

Objectives:

In this workshop, you will learn:

• the characteristics of a good academic text
• to write clear and concise sentences
• to craft well-structured, coherent paragraphs
• to optimize the writing process
• to refine and polish your manuscript

Note: The workshop includes preparation work. Please write a scientific text (approx. ½-1 A4 page) and bring it to the workshop.

Facilitator: Amanda Habbershaw (Tinta Training)
