Academic Writing Resources
Academic writing is clear, objective, focused, structured, and backed up by evidence. It is formal in tone and style and uses appropriate language. It is a tool of communication which shows acquired knowledge in a particular field of study. Writing academically helps students analyze and think critically while focusing on technique and style. The purpose is to explain research findings, convey ideas by using precise word choice and logical organization.
At the Language Resourse Centre (Akademiskt språk) you can book a tutorial in academic writing in English.
The following is offered in tutoring:
- Dialogue about structure, style, and language
- Guidance on how to continue working with your language skills on your own
- Tips and advice on how to plan your writing and your studies
N.B. Akademiskt språk does not offer advice on content, proof reading or editing services
If you need guidance for your academic writing, feel free to book a session with us!
