ADTIS In-Sessional - Effective Use of Punctuation new Wed 14 May 2025   17:30 [Places]

ADTIS In-Sessional - How to Use Sources new Tue 13 May 2025   09:00 [Places]

When you are working on your written assignments, one of the hardest things is to know how to integrate what you are reading into your own writing. This online workshop will show you ways to engage with what you are reading and how you can integrate the findings and ideas of others into your own writing. It will give practical examples and suggest the types of language you should use when referring to the work of others. Before the workshop, have a look at a piece of your written work and see how you are using your sources. Are you using them actively or passively?

One of the major differences between postgraduate and undergraduate work is the sheer size of the assessed elements of the various courses. This workshop will provide a way into thinking about how to manage the transition in scale, how to plan longer pieces of work, and develop the stamina for getting them done.

There is nothing to do before the workshop.

CULP: Portuguese Basic for Academic Purposes (LAP) Thu 17 Oct 2024   15:15 In progress

These Portuguese reading courses are designed for researchers, graduate students and staff who have a particular interest in Latin American, Brazilian, Portuguese or Lusophone language, culture and heritage.

They offer linguistic tools that will enable students to comprehend complex texts and produce critical readings and interpretations.

The classes are going to be conducted primarily in English, even though there will be plenty of opportunity for oral and listening practice. The courses feature a listening and speaking component as to prepare student to conduct field work in Portuguese.

The Basic course does not require any knowledge of the language while the prerequisite for the Intermediate course is a CEFR A2 level. The courses offer the possibility of progression and Basic students are strongly encouraged to continue with the Intermediate course.

Please note that these courses are attended by a number of very able, Spanish speaking students of Latin American studies and that the class dynamics are likely to be fast paced. For the rest of the students this might be challenging but also very rewarding and conducive to sound progress.

The courses will start from a Basic level and will aim at:

  • Solidifying strategies of reading of academic texts;
  • Recognition of the compositional structures of the texts;
  • Recognition of basic use of Portuguese grammar units The students will be asked to perform weekly readings of a wide variety of texts.

Alongside that, they will be requested to do grammar exercises related to the basic structures of the language, such as verbs and their complements.
