https://studiegids.vu.nl/en/courses/2024-2025/L_ETMAALG008This course is a continuation of the Advanced Writing in English course. The tutorial is designed for students who want further work on their academic writing. After successfully completing this course you will be able to write an academic text in English at the C1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference [CEFR] both in terms of relevant communicative competence and grammatical accuracy and vocabulary control; you will be able to spot the major coherence problems in the drafts of your own and other people's texts, and edit the text to improve coherence; you will also have a clear sense of where your English is strong and of what areas you can work on to develop your expressive potential.This course focuses on resolving linguistic issues that individual students still have in their English, and on further refining (academic) style and textual coherence. On the one hand the idea is to resolve issues that participants still have with their English, and on the other hand it is about learning to use structures that can make one's writing more 'interesting'. In the tutorial, the emphasis will be even more on students' own writing--developing style and structure. Students will prepare a portfolio of revised and new texts relevant to their study.Weekly seminars, workshop-styleIn order to pass this course, you must receive an overall pass on the combined texts in your portfolio.Hannay, M. & J.L.
