Objectives

This workshop is a hybrid event: In the first part, the entire group meets to discuss issues relating to the production of academic texts, for example the writing process, structuring, style and special features of the English specialised text, but also to create an opportunity for exchange. In the second part, all participants will be offered individual coaching in which they can discuss their own text as well as unresolved questions and problems. The aim of the workshop is to master the craft of writing English-language texts with greater confidence.
