Academic essay writing: Focus on linguistics and TEFL - Einzelansicht

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements and grading.

In this course students will improve their skills in writing linguistic research papers. Focus is put on several aspects such as the design of research projects, argument structure, writing style and formal criteria.

The number of participants is limited to 20 students.

Due to the current situation, at least the first few sessions will be taught as e-learning classes, with a mix of live online sessions and the provision of material via Moodle. In order to get to know each other, we will meet at the originally scheduled course time in a Zoom room to which you will be sent an invitation. In advance, please make sure

• to sign up for this course via PULS,
• to send me a short e-mail indicating your participation so that I can contact you for further instructions if necessary (finzel@uni-potsdam.de),
• to create a (working) Zoom account (cf. https://www.uni-potsdam.de/de/zfq/lehre-und-medien/online-lehre-2020).

Please bear with me in case not everything goes as planned. This situation is a challenge, but I'm looking forward to seize it as an opportunity for integrating e-learning in the teaching portfolio. Don't hesitate to give feedback and let me know about any difficulties or obstacles.

It is possible that classes are switched to classroom teaching at some point during the semester.
