Inhalt:

This course is designed for students of all faculties who have to write academic texts in English.
We will examine the typical style and vocabulary of academic writing and the linguistic tools needed
for referencing research sources, producing summaries and composing different types of essays, as well
as those skills needed for effective proofreading. This course will not only look at the mechanics of
writing, but also aim to help students become better academic thinkers and planners.

This course will involve collaborative work, and through guided practice, students will learn to give
peer feedback on their colleagues’ writing, helping them in turn to become better editors of their own compositions.
This course will be assessed by the means of a portfolio of texts written during the course (50%), and a final exam (50%).

NOTE: We recommend attending English: Academic Writing B2 before attending English: Academic Writing C1!
