Description
English academic style is complex, but there are basic rhetorical principles that, once learned, can greatly improve both your writing and your confidence in writing. This workshop introduces participants to the concrete principles that determine qualities like clarity, cohesion, and flow in academic prose. We will also briefly address common grammatical errors that often interfere with clear writing. In addition to analyzing the style of exemplary academic texts, participants will have the opportunity to apply what they've learned to their own writing.
This workshop will take place in English, make use of exclusively English-language materials, and be taught by a native English speaker (a U.S. American).
