◇講義室：L2
◇ 授業目的：
The aim of this course is to provide you with the writing skills
required to prepare a draft of a scientific research publication or
conference paper.
◇ 授業内容：
The course is intended for M2 and doctoral students, as well as for
postdoctoral staff and junior faculty members. M1 students who wish to
study English should take the ‘Methods of English Communication’
course, which is described elsewhere.
We will look at the structure of scientific research papers, paying
particular attention to the function of different sections of a paper
and the variable language styles associated with each section. We will
also examine some of the more advanced grammatical aspects of
scientific English that you will encounter in your reading and writing.
Each week you will be asked to write, between classes, a section of a
realistic manuscript based on your own research, and some of the time
during each class will be devoted to analysing the text that you
produce. I will also make written 'editorial' comments on your text, so
that it can be modified and refined continuously as the course
progresses.
The course is intended to develop your writing skills in a practical
way that is relevant to your scientific needs. Classes will thus, I
hope, be 'interactive' experiences rather than 'lectures', and you will
be encouraged to highlight any aspects of writing in English which you
find particularly difficult.
