Academic Writing for Graduate Students (Workshop Series): Hedging, Boosting, and Positioning

This workshop series is designed for graduate international students with limited experience writing academic English, “proficient users” with a dominant language other than English, and students whose dominant language is English. It is equally concerned with developing academic writers as it is improving academic texts.  Students can register for all four sessions or single sessions: Field, Tenor and Mode; Hedging, Boosting, and Positioning; Old to New Information Flow; Paragraph Patterns: Linking Pattern

Note: This workshop has moved to online mode of delivery. (updated November 2, 2021)
