| Description | The workshop will offer participants a number of tips for teaching academic writing to postgraduate medical students in the context of English as a foreign language. It will explore a set of pedagogic approaches by invoking the communication model, i.e. the author, the text, and the reader. In the author-oriented approach, specific techniques from the field of creative writing will be suggested for helping students as they move through the stages of the writing process. In the text-oriented approach, the workshop will draw on genre research and corpus linguistics to demonstrate the use of lexico-grammatical and rhetorical features of medicine-specific academic texts and how these features could be practiced with students in academic writing courses. In the reader-oriented approach, the workshop will look at activities developed around the target journals our students wish to publish in and the process of peer-reviewing. |
