Getting your research translated into quality research journals is more important than ever. However, even for experienced researchers writing is full of challenges and obstacles: finding the right structure, knowing how to edit and polish, struggling to get started and maintaining momentum, working with co-authors. This workshop will address these issues and will also discuss choosing journals, dealing with peer-review and responding productively to resubmission.
Based on practical activities this workshop aims to provide structure, advice and motivation for those writing a paper for publication. The workshop takes an intensive but intellectually supportive approach, drawing on research into academic writing, evidenced in the education and linguistic literature. In addition, participants will learn more about the process of research writing. The session will cover:
