Foreign language teachers are enhancing their academic writing skills

“Impulse” has launched a series of workshops on academic writing for UTMN foreign language teachers. The purpose of the series was to discuss the importance of integrating academic writing into foreign language lessons and to show some techniques of teaching students writing. The first workshop topic was academic paragraph structure. Various assignments encouraged the participants to feel like their students and evoked some discussions. The teachers are going to create their own writing assignments adapted to the students’ language level and needs.
