Academic Writing (Übung)
Dozent/in: Sabrina Völz
Termin:
wöchentlich | Montag | 14:15 - 15:45 | 07.04.2025 - 11.07.2025 | C 12.010 Seminarraum
Inhalt: Do you have a good command of academic vocabulary? Do you know how to write a proper introduction to a research paper? Or what strategies apart from the summary you can use for the conclusion? Do you know the difference between informal and formal English? Do you have a good idea of how to vary your sentence structure or integrate creative elements into your academic prose? Do you know the ins and outs of using AI-based writing tools without sounding like a bot or relying too heavily on them? If you have answered no to two or more of these questions, then this might be the course for you. Each participant will gain experience reading and responding to academic texts, improve research and analytical skills, as well as have ample opportunities to actively apply course concepts through weekly writing activities. Students will learn strategies for writing effective academic texts and critically evaluate a number of conventional and AI-powered reference works and writing tools.

Inhalt: High-level academic writing skills in English are key to academic success at university and beyond. This seminar aims at strengthening composition skills in English academic writing focusing on: - Grammar and style - Planning - Structure (information organisation, intelligibility, sequencing, coherence) - Register (e.g., tone, lexical choice) - Quotation/citation strategies (do’s and don’t’s) We will address these skills by adopting a hands-on approach where students will engage in writing, editing and giving peer feedback based on example essays and excerpts of their own academic writing. More details on the course structure and materials will be provided in the first session of the semester.

Inhalt: Do you find yourself dodging the dictionary, confounded by collocations, terrified by translation yet somehow in love with LEO? Perhaps you just feel overwhelmed by words and their wily ways. If you haven’t found your inner “word nerd” yet (and even if you have), this seminar will make a logophile (or maybe even a logomaniac) out of you. After a brief introduction to the perils of translation and the benefits of effective cross-referencing skills, subsequent course topics will include but are not limited to: eponyms; acronyms and initialisms; clippings and blends; connotations and denotations; homonyms, homophones, and homographs. Using a variety of cultural texts (e.g. lyrics/poetry, fiction and non-fiction, films and television series, etc.) as potential sources, you will begin collecting and selecting new words for practical as well as creative exercises. The ultimate objective is not only to learn how to work with words but also how to make them work for you.
