This course introduces students to research writing in English and aims to equip them with skills needed for writing e.g. a BA or MA thesis. Students will chose a particular topic related to language studies that they wish to learn about. During the course, they will read, discuss and write about that topic, while at the same time investigating the writing norms of the field - the typical language, structures, and arguments of its texts. Along the way, we will also overview and try out practical strategies for reading research articles and writing research reports.
