Course Aims | ||||||||||
This course aims to provide students with the necessary communicative competence to operate effectively in a range of scientific contexts. Students on the course will learn how to find and critically evaluate a range of texts related to their scientific investigation, and use appropriate English to present these texts. Students will take part in an English for science project, which involves an investigation of a scientific issue, and learn to present and interpret the results of this project as a scientific documentary for a non-specialist audience, and a scientific report for a specialist audience. Students will learn how to explore academic scientific texts using linguistic search tools, making discoveries that inform their use of English for scientific communication. Finally, students will have the opportunity to collectively reflect on their learning by engaging in online discussions related to key concepts of the course. | ||||||||||
