Workshop: AcademicWriting in English
Thursday 25 June 2020, 17-19
English is on everyone’s lips, but what distinguishes English as a scientific
language from German and French, for example? This workshop explores
language-specific writing in English through practical exercises (sentence
structure, active/passive, use of the first and third person, punctuation, etc.). It
provides stringent writing principles as a basis for answering a crucial question:
“How best to produce written academic English that sounds English and is
acceptable to first-language readers?”
