Advanced Language Practice for Academic Work



This course will focus on various forms of German academic writing, with an emphasis on the special academic lexicon, stylistics, and the “mechanics” of writing for a German academic audience. In a scaffolded approach, students will learn how to summarize, analyze, and discuss academic topics, and thorough training of proper citation techniques and diversified register as well as insights into German academic conventions and usages will prepare students for turning research into high-quality written work and oral presentations.



A course reader will be made available.*
