This workshop will be devoted to improving the participants’ techniques of writing in English, especially clearly formulating thoughts and structuring various kinds of academic and journalistic texts. This will be done through elements of lectures and instruction, and – principally – through practical tasks. Students will be asked to produce pieces of writing and do some editing exercises. Since clear writing is a key ability for university students and in many professions, the class will be helpful for everyone but especially those considering a career in academia or in the media.
Some important aspects of writing that the
class will also focus on will include using various kinds of sources; the
ethics of using sources, both human and written and of citing them in an
appropriate way to avoid plagiarism; the organization of the writing process;
using helpful software, such as Zotero for bibliographies; publishing in
academic journals and in the media.
