Objective: The aim of the course is to help PhD students with composing their dissertations or research articles in English by expanding their linguistic and strategic repertoire for writing in English. Content and Structure: The course will help participants to express their ideas, arguments and findings more clearly and effectively. Participants will learn useful academic phrases, revisit essential grammar issues, and refine their understanding of sentence patterns as well as punctuation. They will also practice summarizing, defining, providing evidence and problematizing – writing strategies typical of both PhD dissertations and research articles. Additionally, the characteristics of distinctive sections of both PhD dissertations and research articles (Literature Review, Methods, Results and Conclusion) will be discussed.
