Overordnede kursusmål
Academic Writing is an intensive course that:
• introduces and explains all the unwritten rules of academic English
• covers the primary written rules for analysis, criticism, and rewriting

Content includes not only structure, grammar, punctuation, and paragraphing—all of which are critical for publication success—but also the theory of contrastive rhetoric and its implications for all native and non-native writers of English.

Participants learn how to say more with fewer words, write with precision, and avoid ambiguity. They also learn to argue according to Anglo-American rhetorical norms, including
• establishing the purpose clearly
• organizing and focusing content effectively
• structuring sentences and paragraphs for greatest impact

Furthermore, participants learn techniques for studying journals from a linguistic perspective, so that they may avail themselves of cues and linguistic devices not readily apparent to the untutored eye.

Journal Analysis is an intensive course showing participants how to maximize their chances of publication in international journals. It gives participants strategies for analyzing articles (and the journals in which they have been published) for both content and style. The wide range of topics includes such basic strategies as:
• analyzing the abstract and introduction for specific linguistic devices
• creating abstract models
• assessing the ratio of theory to data
• determining structural composition and content placement
• creating both abstracts and introductions in the most common style of the journal

Participants learn techniques for studying journals from a linguistic perspective, so that they may avail themselves of cues and linguistic devices not readily apparent to the untutored eye.
