Description


This course develops students' academic writing and research skills. Students will critically analyse academic texts in order to learn about the ways in which academic writers communicate their arguments for different audiences in different disciplines. They will research for and write a range of different text types, such as a critical review and an essay or a report. They will use content from their own disciplines wherever possible, and apply particular linguistic strategies to improve their writing, strengthen their argument and express their meaning more clearly.
