Language educators develop their abstract writing skills

On May 18, teachers of the Center for Foreign Languages and Communication took part in the “Impulse” workshop on abstracts of research papers. The workshop involved discussing a possible structure, language patterns, and style of abstracts. The participants shared their experience of reading, writing, and translating and got inspired to write their new research papers. 

Participants’ feedback:
 
Olga Kozlova
Please, accept my deepest gratitude for this practice-oriented seminar. Nadezhda has shared some helpful insights and updates on abstract writing in a very friendly and efficient manner.

Svetlana Tretiakova 
The workshop on writing an abstract to the article taught me how to make this important part of the paper concise but informative. Using a cohesive layout and some strategies for choosing language means which were presented at the workshop will facilitate my future academic writing greatly.
