atlanticlanguage.com 6 | Specialised Course Academic Writing

ObjectivesThe purpose of the Erasmus Plus course on Academic Writing in Ireland is to foster the advancement of English skills for academic purposes among participants. In the contemporary world, the ‘publish or perish’ academic culture means that it is crucial for academics to use language at an advanced level for the purpose of scientific publication (Scopus®, Web of ScienceTM, etc.) and the preparation of advanced grant proposals (Fulbright, etc.). The course examines conventions in academic writing, and provides classroom input as well as individual writing feedback.

Dr. phil. Sven Stadtmüller, Germany

“I attended two courses at Atlantic last

year and they were splendid. I learned a

lot about how to present my research

results in English in publications and

presentations so now I feel much more

comfortable in doing this. The lessons

were perfectly structured and we received

plenty of helpful material. Finally, our

teachers really did a great job as well!”Who is it for? Scientists, researchers, PhD candidates and other academic staff who wish to improve their academic publication skills and move higher in citation indexing

ObjectivesThe Erasmus Plus course on CLIL Methodology for Third Level focuses on the development of lesson facilitation where the dual targets of content and language are being simultaneously pursued. At third level, the language of the individual subjects is quite specific, so it is necessary to develop ways to promote the learning and accurate use of content-obligatory vocabulary in contexts that also primarily allow for content acquisition. Sessions in this course will focus on scaffolding lessons, increasing communicative interaction among students, setting collaborative tasks, introducing target language and content, promoting enquiry-based learning, providing support for the learners, assessment in CLIL courses, and all the other aspects of the CLIL approach.

“I was fortunate to take part in a one-week course for English teachers offered by Atlantic Language Galway in

the framework of the Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for Training in December 2016. Both the school’s facilities and its

excellently trained and dedicated staff created a learning environment that was highly beneficial both

professionally and personally. My goals to refresh my teaching skills were met beyond my expectations. I

especially enjoyed the friendly and inspiring atmosphere of the lessons, which I owe mainly to the tutors’

methodological preparedness, openness and sensitivity to how to work with international scholars with diverse

academic and cultural backgrounds. The city of Galway and its environs offer ample opportunities for exploring

the rich culture and natural beauty of Ireland, for socializing with counterparts and local people, and above all, for

tasting the unforgettable Irish beer, should you wish to get refreshed after the busy study hours.“Prof. Zsuzsanna
