wöchentlich | Freitag | 10:15 - 13:45 | 03.04.2023 - 07.07.2023 | C 5.310

Inhalt: Ready for a challenge? Feel like giving your writing and speaking skills a fine-tuning? Participants will learn to improve their writing style, editing, and revision skills and be introduced to a variety of websites and digital tools that will help them perfect their writing skills. Further topics include register (the ways in which language changes to reflect formality or informality), sentence variety, paraphrasing, plagiarism avoidance strategies, ChatGPT, and general citation practices. Since academic writing does not have to be boring or dry, we will also take a closer look at ways to engage an audience as well as ways to use language creatively and effectively. Participants will work on and discuss many writing activities in class and learn a lot in the process. At the same time, due to the heterogeneity of seminar participants, the instructor will assist students in developing their own writing styles and mentor them individually. Those who are willing to put the time and effort into the class should notice a great improvement in their confidence and writing skills.
