Writing in English at University

About this Course

Acquiring good academic research and writing skills early on is essential for your success both at university and in your professional life.

This course aims: - to give you an understanding of the conventions of academic writing in English and to teach you the components and benefits of what is called process writing. - to help you to put together your own “toolbox” of academic writing skills, as well as to give you a chance to test out these tools and to reflect on your own development as a writer. - to encourage reflection on discipline specific conventions; although the course deals with generic skills, you will be able to apply these generic skills to meet the particular needs of your own discipline.

The course consists of four modules:

1. Writing in English at university: An introduction

2. Structuring your text and conveying your argument

3. Using sources in academic writing

4. The writer’s toolbox: Editing and proofreading

In each module you will find video lectures and reading assignments and assignments, such as quizzes, reflective self-assessment questions, as well as some peer review exercises in which you will have an opportunity to interact with other students taking the course.
