Workshop "How to adapt to audiences using academic precision and register"

How can we use the appropriate academic register and accuracy to be understood by different groups of listeners? How can we effectively adapt to communicating with our target audience? During the workshop we'll figure it out together. The techniques we’re going to discuss will be useful for any researcher working with international audiences. In particular, we will discuss the benefits of choosing the right register and language adaptation, analyzing real-life examples. We will find out which approaches may help to adjust to the audiences we interact with, maintaining professionalism and clarity of presentation. We will also speak about how precision and register affect the academic and professional image of the researcher.
