This course will be about reading – writing – understanding – and speaking English for academic purposes. Some of the topics covered will be letters and email – CVs – making a presentation at a conference – writing an abstract – following your topic in a journal – and talking with international colleagues, along with publishing articles.
Course members should already have an intermediate level of English. All lectures, discussions, and materials will be in English (without translation). There will be some weekly reading at home, at least one consultation with the instructor, and a final work and quiz. Attendance at every session is required to pass the course.
The course is open to faculty, administrative, and laboratory members and postgraduate students. Seats are limited to 20. (If necessary, priority will be given to those working in laboratories, centers, and joint Russian–international educational programs or preparing lecture/seminar courses in English.)
Those who meet the course participation standards will be eligible for a certificate of completion from ИДО; and will have priority for consulting on future work.
