This course helps participants improve their English writing skills for research papers, using published materials or their own drafts with a focus on clarity, logical writing, and concise articles. The workshop will cover the writing process, abstract structure, and analyze exemplary research papers. Participants will expand their academic vocabulary and learn to spot common pitfalls in their academic writing.

Participants are encouraged to bring excerpts from their own articles for discussion and analysis. Additionally, they may send a 200-word maximum abstract (if available) to the course coordinator one week before the seminar for correction and additional feedback during the course.
