A unique international, one-semester, blended-learning mentored practice in a real Writing for Publication course (taught at Czech Academy of Sciences or VSB-TUO) for supervisors and/or lecturers of Writing for Publication/Scientific Writing/Academic Writing. The teaching practice builds on the Theoretical Foundations course. The training aims to support participants in teaching research writing courses for graduate students/doctoral candidates/researchers at the beginning of their careers. During the teaching practice, participants explore various aspects of teaching research writing, including rhetorical and genre analysis, feedback, and the publication process (e.g., choosing an appropriate journal, communicating with editors and reviewers, and preparing the manuscript for peer review). As a result, they will be able to use their acquired skills to communicate the general principles of research writing in English and to provide ongoing support with constructive feedback on papers/dissertations.
