Skills - a Systematic Approach
David
Cotton’s presentation is on Writing Skills for academic purposes. He will
discuss why students have difficulty writing academic texts, such as essays,
reports and articles. He will then talk about the approach to writing which he
and his co-writers have used in the Language Leader course books. He will look
at the various writing genres which students need to master to be successful in
their studies at colleges and universities and will use examples from the
intermediate – advanced levels of Language Leader to illustrate his points. One
or two examples of students’ work will also be presented. David will not deal
with scholarly articles written for academic journals though this topic is
covered, to some extent, in the Language Leader series.
