For researchers, writing a paper in English may be something what they usually do. However, have you ever adequately learned how to write academic papers in English?
We invited Mr. Masakuni Yoshinaka from ALC Co. as a lecturer. By taking this training, the participants will acquire the fundamentals of writing necessary to compose a paper in English. In the intermediate level, you will learn how to use academic conjunctions, composition and writing in paragraphs, tips on paraphrasing. In the advanced level, you will learn differences in meaning of countable and uncountable nouns, numeric expressions, the gap between a world level in Japanese and English. Participants will also acquire more effective writing skills by correcting texts in English written by themselves.
