Description: A unique international, two-semester, blended-learning training for supervisors and/or lecturers of Writing for Publication/Scientific Writing/Academic Writing. The training comprises Theoretical Foundations course and mentored Teaching Practice. The training aims to support participants in designing and teaching research writing courses for graduate students/doctoral candidates/researchers at the beginning of their careers. During the course, 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). Participants will also learn to view writing as a social and emotional activity through which one develops one's identity as a scholar and researcher. 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.
Participants will learn:
- how to guide students through the writing and publishing, peer review, and revision process
- how to give effective feedback
- how to apply various writing pedagogies to the teaching and supervision of writing for publication
- how to develop a course/workshop on research paper writing for their own setting
