Vocabulary as a writer’s identity
Vocabulary is not just one of many tools at a writer’s disposal. The choice of words may bolster or undermine the author’s intention, and the lexical profile is an integral part of a writer’s identity. Therefore, perfecting their lexical toolkit is essential for every researcher who aspires to be an international author.

This week we ran the final workshop in the series led by Dr. Leslie Dupont.
