My First Article in English/ Mein erster Artikel auf Deutsch – free language workshops
On 3 March 2025, we are launching the latest edition of a project by the University Centre for Foreign Languages in collaboration with the Centre for Specialised Languages in Medicine at the Medical College – a series of free language workshops. The proposal is aimed at second-year undergraduates, fifth/sixth-year students of uniform master’s degree programmes and doctoral students at UMK. The workshops will begin in late March/early April 2025 and will be held in a remote system on the MS Teams platform. The aim of the workshop is to provide participants with the practical knowledge necessary to write and publish an article in English or German. The workshop is aimed at people who do not have much experience in writing scientific texts in a foreign language.
As part of the workshop, it is envisaged to launch activity groups in English, aimed at representatives of the following scientific areas:
1) Humanities, Theological and Artistic Sciences,
2) Social Sciences,
3) Science and Natural Sciences,
4) Medical Sciences,
5) German language group.
Participation in the workshop will broaden your knowledge on how to write an abstract, correctly construct the different parts of a scientific article, use vocabulary and grammatical structures appropriate for an academic writing style and avoid the most common mistakes made when writing in English or German.
In addition to the 10-hour workshop, participants will receive two 1-hour individual consultations dedicated to analysing the draft and final versions of the article.
The course and consultations will be conducted by lecturers from the University’s Centre for Foreign Languages and the Centre for Specialised Languages in Medicine with extensive experience in specialised language classes at UMK faculties.
We hope that the workshops will result in valuable publications in foreign languages.
Recruitment is open until 23 March 2025 and is done via email by sending your application to the following email address: myfirstarticle@umk.pl.
