This workshop, consisting of four consecutive sessions, aims to help doctoral candidates at the early stages of their dissertation to plan their thesis writing and produce early drafts. The course aims to boost writing confidence through learning about the expectations of academic readers and of writing conventions in the writer’s own field, as well as providing useful tools to support writing in English. Many tasks will be focused on the literature review and participants will be expected to write and revise parts of their draft texts during the course.
The course covers five main areas:
- Academic and disciplinary features in thesis writing
- The research rationale and research questions
- Boosting writing productivity and confidence
- Structuring the literature review
- Discovering your voice and taking a stance
However, this course is responsive to the writing needs of the participants and other sections can also be discussed. The course is taught in English and participants should have B2 level English.
