Academic Writing

Writing a PhD thesis might not be an easy task for all students. Even though students know they need to use a language, which is different from their own, they may not know what sort of language to use in writing a thesis. 
This workshop will provide an introduction to the linguistic resources and conventions of medical texts as an academic discourse. 

This workshop will: 
• raise awareness of the type of language used in medical texts.
• show how different linguistic resources make thesis writing clearer. 
• represent specific features of language used in academic/medical texts.
• identify language conventions and learn how to use them to express ideas explicitly and clearly in medical texts. 
• raise awareness of how to use language to evaluate previous work, theories, and research.
• show how linguistic conventions are used in making a judgement. 

LOCATION: G19 meeting room, 15 Innovation Walk
DATE: Wednesday 8th April 2015
TIME: 2pm - 4pm
