This workshop is aimed at students writing their thesis in English who have a solid command of English but are looking for ways to improve their texts with regard to clarity and effectiveness. We will focus on a number of different aspects that will ensure that transitions in your text are clear and that your text has a good flow and each sentence is easy to understand. In the workshop we will work on tools that a writer can employ to show the reader how parts of the text are connected: using pronouns and other referring expressions correctly, making clear lists and coordinated structures, and effectively using explicit linking language in a text. Finally, we will practise with how to make a text more compact without losing any content.
