Writing clear and concise style, obeying citation and writing conventions typical of academic writing in English as well as finding and researching an academic topic are among the skills that help students master the challenges of writing papers in English. We will analyze authentic academic papers and use various practical exercises to introduce and practice strategies and stylistic features typical of writing in the humanities. Students will practice writing under exam conditions and have the opportunity to work on topics from their academic seminars. Credits based on completed assignments.
