The workshop will focus on
(1) mistakes that are commonly made by
non-native English speakers in scientific writing
(2) the proper construction of paragraphs
and sentences in an English scientific text and
(3) a how-to approach to paper writing
with tips for getting started, overcoming writer's block, how to focus your
paper/abstract to your audience, things you should know before you start,
critical areas of a paper and how to choose wording for the correct strength of
a statement. This how-to portion spends more time in some of these areas than
others depending on the experience level of the group.
Some of the common problems for non-native
English speakers that I discuss include how to choose the strength of the
adjective or adverb when presenting sensitive results, the importance of good
English paragraph structuring to clearly present scientific ideas and structure
papers and grants, how to use attention-getting words (therefore, however,
etc.) correctly and not overuse them and commonly misused/misunderstood English
words and phrases.
The
Workshop will be held as interactive small group seminar and questions are
encouraged throughout. They are designed to be flexible and to meet the
experience and needs of scientists at many levels. The entire workshop will be
held in English language.
