Salient features of (publishable) academic English

Date: Apr 25
Time: 14:30 - 16:15
Venue: Seminar Room 2, 1/F, Wu Chung Multimedia Library

Tips on how to produce successful, i.e. publishable, research papers in English abound. The sheer number of tips can confuse writers hoping to break into publication.  This workshop presents the most salient features of the language of publishable research papers.  The exercises will help writers identify these features, understand how and why they work, and most of all, learn to replicate these features in their own writing.  During this workshop, participants will analyse and discuss these features and learn with other writers who are working towards the same goal—publication of their work.
