Este curso, diseñado por el Centro de Español, el Departamento de Lenguas y Cultura y el Departamento de Humanidades y Literatura, busca que los estudiantes de programas de posgrado de la Universidad de los Andes analicen y escriban diversos tipos de texto que hacen parte de la producción académica de sus programas de posgrado. A través del análisis de textos, tanto en su estructura como en su función, y de la comprensión de la escritura como un proceso de cuatro fases (planeación del texto, redacción de la primera versión, auto y coevaluación de este texto, y producción de una versión final), los estudiantes adquirirán competencias para producir los escritos que se esperan de ellos como candidatos a un programa de posgrado y, eventualmente, como investigadores en su profesión.

English Reading Workshops I and II consist of two-level courses structured around English Reading Comprehension Strategies. As a major goal, both workshops intend to introduce to the students different reading alternatives and strategies so that s/he can efficiently understand texts in English as a part of their corpora/ course load in the different areas of study/graduate programs. The first level, English Workshop 1, focuses on basic English reading strategies or the micro abilities necessary for a basic understanding of English-written texts. The second level, English Reading Workshop 2, reviews and strengthens the micro abilities as a starting point towards superior English reading strategies or macro abilities. After taking the workshops, learners will have developed a strategic training to enhance autonomous and efficient English reading processes. Reading Workshops I and II are taught with a blended learning approach. This methodology intends to coherently integrate (computer-mediated) online activities with face-to-face activities. In order to get successful results in these courses, the student must be highly committed to do the online and face-to-face activities rigorously and consciously. Such commitment will make it possible to strengthen and deepen the knowledge acquired in the course. This will lead to a successful achievement of the objectives in each of the two levels.
