Course Overview

This course provides an overview of the essential communicative skills needed to write a journal research article and present the paper at a conference or seminar. Taking a linguistic approach to written and oral texts, we will examine the elements needed to effectively communicate scientific information in professional situations. Students will explore the different styles of written and oral language through individual and interactive tasks as well as analysis of oral and written texts. There will be plenty of opportunities for written and oral language practice as well.
