Writing a Research Article: Abstract


Are you a Ph.D. student, junior, or an advanced researcher still struggling with English academic texts? Do not worry—keep writing! We offer you a workshop about tackling one of the researcher's burdens.


Course Description

You will become familiar with the expected structure and content of research papers or dissertation sections through analysis of sample texts. You will also be shown essential principles affecting language and style and subsequently do exercises to put these principles into practice.


Focus

Typical structure of abstracts. How to formulate and connect key elements. Language work: direct, precise language; avoiding unnatural, vague or wordy expressions.


Timing

Monday, 11th November, 15.00 - 18.00

Hybernská Campus (Hybernská 998/4), building D, floor 2


Lecturer

Eleanor Lurring, MA in Applied Linguistics, MBA, RSA Dip TESOL

Eleanor is a native English speaker from the UK. With over thirty years of experience teaching high-level English, she now focuses on helping writers produce academic texts for publication. Eleanor proofreads and edits academic texts such as research articles, PhD dissertations, conference papers, motivation letters, and grant applications. She works with doctoral and post-doctoral researchers in various branches of science, education, engineering, humanities, and economics. This may be consultancy work if the structure and content of a text need attention, or it may be proofreading for accuracy and reader-friendly style.
