The Berlin University Alliance (BUA) is an alliance of Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin. Together, they are pursuing the goal of creating and shaping an integrated research space in Berlin. This alliance aims to establish Berlin as a leading international science location. All workshops and events offered by the Graduate Studies Support Program are funded by the BUA and therefore free of charge

Participation
Doctoral researchers in the Human and Social Sciences of the Berlin Univeristy Alliance.
Before booking a workshop, please make sure that you can attend for the entire duration. Please check our terms and conditions.
Objectives
The goal of this course is to develop your repertoire of standard language used in academic discourse and to help you master some of the finer points of English grammar.
Content
Research papers and abstracts follow more or less the same pattern: a general introduction is followed by a description of methodology and procedure, after which research results are presented and evaluated, and conclusions drawn. Referring to authentic material, we will look at these sections one by one, focussing on vocabulary, expressions and grammatical structures which commonly appear in each. Course participants are requested to bring a few recent research articles from their field, written by native speakers of English, on subjects which are closely related to the work they are doing. They should be no longer than 15 pages, and should not be chapters from books.
Methods
In addition to in-class writing tasks, there will be self-study exercises, and everyone will have the opportunity to give a presentation in class. Feedback on all written and oral tasks will be provided on a regular basis.
Further Information
Postdocs are welcome to participate if spots are available.
