This workshop is for doctoral candidates who are either publishing in international journals, or soon will be. The modules therefore explore how academic writers can satisfy the expectations of international, English-speaking journal editors, and boost their chances of publication. Participants will learn the techniques they need to write well-structured papers which communicate the value of their research with impact and clarity. Topics include:

- the principles of good academic writing

- cultural differences in how academic papers are written

- how to structure research articles and essays

- how to build effective paragraphs and sentences

- communicating voice and attitude in a text

- incorporating narrative into academic texts

- abstracts and introductions

- punctuation

- editing techniques

The workshop is highly interactive and consists of instructor-lead sessions, as well as pair/group work. At the end of the programme, participants may submit a max 1000-word text to the trainer for individual feedback.
