The workshop is designed for intermediate as well as advanced users of English who wish to improve their skills in conveying complex / scientific topics both verbally and in writing. It builds on the learners’ current skills in communicating scientific content and is divided between a review of best practices as well as practical exercises done in pairs and groups. The aim is to communicate scientific knowledge in a coherent, accessible way for both academic colleagues as well as non-experts.
