This academic writing course is designed to support scholars who are in the process of completing a PhD thesis in English. The focus of the workshop will be the work-in-progress of each individual student—whether that is perfecting a difficult chapter, preparing a journal article for publication, or contemplating a paper for an upcoming conference.

The course will pay particular attention to structure, word choice, punctuation, and style. We will also look at common mistakes, as well as tips for improving your academic writing skills. Activities are based on a variety of materials and exercises prepared by the tutor. Students can also submit several pages of work over the course of the sessions to be proofread.

Termine: 05.04, 17.05., 28.06.24

This course is aimed at doctoral students who want to improve their academic writing and work specifically on an article, which will then be corrected by the course coordinator. The group will meet three times in the semester, twice during the semester for a two-hour writing workshop and again in the last week of the semester to discuss the submitted work and to address the most common mistakes. The coordinator will be available throughout the course via email to deal with any language issues while writing the paper.

Termine: 12.04., 19.04., 26.04., 03.05., 10.05., 31.05., 07.06., 14.06., 21.06.

As a doctoral student you will constantly be expected to present your field of research to peers, supervisors and at conferences. The focus of this course will be on presenting your ideas clearly and concisely, while working on your tone, body language and general delivery. Additionally, we will work with language for presentations, including such rhetorical devices as repetition and alliteration. Participants will be expected to present their research topics and receive both peer and instructor feedback.
