La Dirección de Relaciones Internacionales en conjunto con la Regional English Language Office de la Embajada de Estados Unidos invitan a los profesores de la Universidad de los Andes a participar en el taller para profesores “Academic Writing Workshop”.
El taller será dictado en inglés, sin traducción simultánea, por la profesora Sharon Cavusgil, senior lecturer del Departmento de Lingüística Aplicada y de Inglés como Segunda Lengua en Georgia State University, Estados Unidos.
El primer taller presentará las bases para establecer un centro de escritura en una Universidad y ahondará en el proceso de escritura, de cómo integrarlo en las clases y cómo mejorar la propia escritura de los académicos. El segundo buscará dar pautas sobre cómo evaluar y dar feedback sobre textos, tesis y pruebas realizadas por alumnos.
