ADTIS In-Sessional - Hedging and Boosting in Academic Writing

PrerequisitesNew

Hedging is an important skill in academic writing, used to show uncertainty, hesitation, or caution where appropriate. In this workshop we will consider when, why, and how to use hedging effectively in our academic writing and practise using hedging with a range of example sentences. We will also consider boosting – the opposite of hedging, used to strengthen claims – discussing when this may be necessary and how to utilise this technique effectively.
