[October 27, 2021] English Academic Writing Course for Graduate Students at Faculty of Letters, Arts and Sciences (Introduction)

English Academic Writing Course for Graduate Students at Faculty of Letters, Arts and Sciences (Introduction)

This course focuses on (1) the vocabulary and phrases often used in academic contexts and (2) how to cite outside sources appropriately. The course is taught in plain English by an instructor with a lot of experience in teaching academic writing. In a 90 minute workshop with lecture and practice, you will be able to learn very basics of writing academic papers.

We will use published articles in humanities social science as examples so that you can apply the skills you learned in this workshop to your own academic papers. Also, learning how to “write” papers will help you to “read” academic articles skillfully.

The course is a first step for students who plan to submit papers in English to academic journal in the future.
