More information:
This course is designed to improve students’ competence as writers. We will focus on the essentials of academic writing (e.g., structuring academic texts, the correct register, using and citing resources, vocabulary choice and language accuracy), and on digital tools that can be helpful for the research and writing process. This class will involve a combination of lecture, discussion, in-class activities/hands-on experience, as well as pair and group work.
Enrollment requirements:
Proof of appropriate language level (minimum B2 for B2 courses, C1 for C1 courses), not older than three years.
This can be achieved by:
Taking our online placement test (link)
Submitting a language certificate from a course at the appropriate level (see website for accepted certificates).
Sending us a copy of the Transcript of Records from STiNE showing completion of a course at the appropriate level.
After sending us the required documents you can then go ahead and register for the respective course(s).
Registrations without proof of the appropriate placement test or certificate will be cancelled.
N.B. If you have already had your level assessed by us in the last three years or have already presented us with a certificate then you do not need to prove your level again.
Learning objectives:
By the end of the course, participants should have improved their abilities to conduct research and write about academic content in a linguistically and rhetorically sound manner. In line with this, participants should be able to utilize specific digital tools that will support their research and writing processes
