Four broad areas will be covered in the session:

• The writing process
• Scientific writing style
• Achieving clarity and flow
• Phraseological patterns in scientific articles

The teaching approach will combine clear presentation of key points using exemplificatory texts and language (PowerPoint), and a range of group-based interactive exercises. All students will receive the presentation handouts.
