Workshop "3Cs of Academic Writing in English: Clear, Concise, Consistent"

Using examples of English and Russian-style texts (all texts will be in English), we will look at the differences in style at the sentence and phrase level. We’ll explore such features of a research text as clarity, coherence, and conciseness that will make a text in English more accessible to the reader. Some vocabulary issues will also be addressed.  This is a workshop not a lecture, so be prepared for lots of activities.  

Tutor: David Connolly, teacher, proofreader, editor and translator. David has been living and working in Moscow since 2004, and has been working at the AWC since its inception.
