出国留学必须攻克的一关就是写作,很多学生来到国外大学后发现,这里有写不完的论文,因为所有的考核基本都是以书面形式完成,比如作业(assignment)、论文(essay)、毕业论文(dissertation)、考试(exam)等。在写作的过程中,你会发现跟之前的雅思写作备考完全不一样,这样会导致很多学生入学后看到论文写作就头疼。所以同学们一定要培养自己学术论文写作能力。英国论文写作方法和中国论文写作有很多不同,那如何培养我们的学术论文写作能力呢?
1.多与同学交流自己的论文写作,无论是否同一专业,让同学给自己的论文提建议。这一点对自己的论文写作提高很有效,身边的同学很乐意帮助我,交流中除了得到修改意见,还学到了很多他们的写作“秘籍,例如如何发展自己的论文结构。 2.不妨请英语为母语的同学提供语言修改意见(proof-reading),汉语中再正常不过的表述,在他们看来可能是Chinglish。他们指出的语言要点,用词的准确,让我获益良多。 3. 细心校对自己的拼写、语法、标点符号等,不要让一篇文章败在细微处,也不要让修改这些细枝末节成为导师的主要任务,分散了他们对论文整体结构及论述的注意力。 4. 大量阅读学术论文,这个自然是必要的。不妨另设一本笔记本,记下读过的好句子。(可以借鉴,但是不能照抄!)媒体的评论文章也值得学习,不过需要注意它们的写作风格是否与自己的学科论文写作风格一致。 5.多写作,勤练笔下功夫,并且多修改。 飞英国际教育针对上述写作难的问题,推出了针对论文写作的课程,授课老师为英国某高校的论文写作老师,学完该10个课时(10小时)后,你将会获得以下技能 On completion of the course a student willbe able to: WRITING: plan, structure, and style apiece of extended academic writing construct and link effectivelythe constituent parts of an academic written structure through logical,coherent paragraphs and text express relationships between ideas through the effective use of linking devices present a logical argument with reasoned conclusions in line with academic conventions source and reference content according to university expectations employ successful techniques to paraphrase and avoid plagiarism plan, structure, and produce are port from questionnaire-based research establish effective researchaims from selected hypotheses present, describe, andinterpret research results plan and structure short essayswithin time constraints in response to set cues, incorporating source material construct effective summariesfrom a set of notes
