Pełny opis: |
The course will focus on the stylistic and structural differences existing between a range of varieties of academic discourse in Polish and English. The class will involve instruction, analysis and hands-on practice in relevant stylistic, grammatical and formal conventions. Students will become familiar with the basic conventions relating to the different types and varieties of scholarly discourse. The course features a strong self-study component to ensure continued self-improvement. The instructors will recommend some quality learning material and discuss effective methods for language learning and reinforcement. The course is very hands-on. Over the course of the term students will write and improve academic texts of their own, and publish some of them on Wikipedia. Credits will be given based on a portfolio of shorter pieces and the final project (Wikipedia entry). |
