Workshop on English for Research Publication Purposes

ESP writing research has shown that NNES specialized discourse communities already have a good command of specialized terminology, typical of their field of research, but the use of general vocabulary tends to pose more difficulties, especially with regard to lexicogrammatical and combinatorial patterns. This workshop serves the purpose of supporting researchers and professors in the process of writing a research paper in English.

Adressed to:

Researchers and professors who use English as an additional or foreign Language in their research publications

Aims of the workshop

• to provide UB researchers with the necessary skills to produce an academic research article using appropriate scientific academic language and style
• to support researchers with one article which we will help them bring up to publishable standard
