LENG 6992 Ingles Doctorados 2

IPD 2 develops central academic writing and speaking genres of relevance to PhD students, supporting the construction and presentation of students’ academic production as expressed in different rhetorical structures: cause – effect, chronologies, problem – solution, comparison – contrast, and argumentation. By critically analyzing oral and written discourse passages from their fields, students notice features of each genre which in turn are developed into personal strategies in the students’ own production, both in writing and speech. This comparative study also fosters other relevant academic skills: giving presentations, leading and participating in discussions, understanding and reacting to spoken English, understanding standard and non-standard language usage choices, and analytical reading skills. Finally, personal language usage and vocabulary are compared to traditional standards to further support an appropriate academic production in English.
