Newsletter Workshop “The art and craft of English Academic Writing” on July 23

Mastering the craft of writing is a core aspect of developing as doctoral candidates. The workshop “The art and craft of English Academic Writing” provides a comprehensive view (and review) of helpful norms, rules and skills to help you improve your writing while gaining confidence in your capacity to exercise a foundational skill.

As ‘expert writers,’ participants will be encouraged not just to write but also to align with readers’ expectations, and to avoid pretentious prose. Selected issues of grammar, vocabulary, and text structure are discussed in service of these topics. 

Objectives:

• Identify and fix problems in your own long-form texts with respect to paragraph writing, coherence and unity;
• Make your writing more impactful and valuable;
• Address problems relating to grammar and (academic) vocabulary;
• Effectively proofread your own texts and incorporate feedback from your peers and doctoral advisor into your own text.

When? July 23rd (Wednesday): 9:30 am–12:30 pm

Where?  Graduate Academy / Käthe Leichter Forum  (Seminarraum, Im Neuenheimer Feld 370)
