HENB10501U CIP - Workshop in English Academic Writing

Volume 2016/2017
Content

This workshop develops and refines the written academic English skills of BA-level students and international exchange students from across the University of Copenhagen.

On completion of this workshop in Academic English, students should be able to produce well-structured, written academic English. In addition, students will develop process writing skills, which will enable them to successfully negotiate their written exams in English-medium university level courses.

As a four-session workshop with interactive class discussions and a student and teacher peer-revision for the written activity, the course takes its point of departure in the academic writing needs of the individual student. During the workshop, students are therefore required to hand in one essay in academic English representative of the subject they study. Active participation and a good portion of self-study are expected in the course.

Please note, that students enrolled in the Faculty of the Humanities cannot take this course.
Only bachelor students can apply for the course. Full-degree students and MA students cannot take this course and are referred to the courses Academic writing for graduate students and Presentation techniques for graduate students.
Please notice that registration is binding.
