SUMMARY:Common Academic Expressions in English
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that 40% of language production in English is 
 formulaic\, that is\, made up of common expressions? However\, producing 
 effective writing in English can be challenging for many non-native writers 
 of English. The good news is\, these formulaic expressions can be 
 learned.\n\nThis workshop is designed for those who speak English as an 
 additional language. Based on empirical research on second language 
 acquisition\, participants are introduced to common expressions that 
 perform a variety of functions in academic English (e.g.\, introducing a 
 new topic or referencing previous information).\n\nParticipants will walk 
 away from the workshop with a better understanding of how to use common 
 academic English expressions in their writing\, as well as the motivation 
 and confidence to develop a larger repertoire of these expressions to 
 further improve their academic English writing skills.\n\nFacilitator: Dr. 
 Xuan Zhang\, Centre for Writing and Scholarly Communication\nDate & Time: 
 Wednesday\, March 23\, 2022: 10:30 am – 12:00 pm PT\nLocation: On Zoom. 
 Registrants receive the Zoom link the day before the workshop.\n\nThe 
 Centre for Writing and Scholarly Communication does not record workshops or 
 share workshop slides.\n\nQuestions about this event? Please contact the
