Writers' circles for continuing to completing students 2012
Writers' circles provide English language support for research students for whom English is an additional language. The focus is on use of appropriate English conventions for research writing and speaking within the academic research context. Workshops run in conjunction with the Commencing and Mid to late candidature series
You will have opportunities to deal with writing issues, enjoy writing, ask questions, network, learn from others and provide constructive peer feedback. With regular attendance you will be able to contribute to a dynamic group of research students engaging with the challenge of developing their English writing skills during their research.
