Introducing Research Across Genres
DozentIn:
Janna Gerdes, M.A.
Veranstaltungstyp:
Vorlesung/Übung (Offizielle Lehrveranstaltungen)
Beschreibung:
This Schreibwerkstatt workshop will address issues of academic writing in English as a foreign language. It is aimed at international PhD students at Osnabrück University who are at an early stage of their research. The focus will be on introductory genres, such as research proposals, conference abstracts and (draft) introductions to dissertational theses, but general conventions of academic English will also be addressed.

Some points covered in this workshop:
• key characteristics of academic English;
• the overall shape of introductory texts;
• language used to express typical functions of introductions (for example, creating context; reporting previous research; stating aims);
• common challenges for non-native speakers of English;
• useful resources for improving academic writing skills.

The workshop will include a short writing assignment. Participants will receive feedback on that assignment and be able to schedule further, individual writing consultations with the Schreibwerkstatt.
