In this workshop we will be working with the participants’ own texts, focussing on the writing process and developing an eye for one’s own texts.

English Grammar for Researchers
Not offered fall 2023.
What kind of grammar do we need when we write academic texts, communicating with other researchers in our field? The kinds of sentence we write in theses or articles are not necessarily the same kinds of sentence we speak aloud in conversation, or write in emails, blogs or newspaper articles. This course explores the particular kinds of grammar and sentence structures common in English academic prose, and aims to increase participants' ability with the more complex sentence structures academics often use in English.
Reading to Write: Preparing to Publish
Not offered fall 2023.

Writing the Introduction to Article-based Dissertations: Kappe-workshop
Workshop in November. Information and registration (ansatt.oslomet.no).
Are you a PhD-candidate writing an article-based dissertation? In many fields you are required to write a "kappe" as a part of you dissertation, a genre that many candidates find challenging. Join this three-session workshop to discuss strategies and approaches to writing your "kappe"!
Beyond IMRAD
Not offered fall 2023.
While many academic articles use the IMRAD (Introduction, Method, Results and Discussion) structure, not all do. Some are more essayistic, some more argumentative, some more philosophical. These kinds of article can be difficult to write, in part because there is no clear template. The Beyond IMRAD course gives participants the tools they need to publish articles in these demanding genres.
