SUMMARY:Writing in STEM: Common Academic Expressions in English
DESCRIPTION:Writing in the STEM disciplines can be an especially 
 challenging task for multilingual writers who speak English as an 
 additional language\, as it requires a high level of language proficiency 
 to effectively use the English language with the appropriate level of 
 accuracy\, precision\, and conciseness. Research shows that common academic 
 expressions can greatly improve writing quality and fluency\, therefore\, 
 it can be beneficial for multilingual writers in STEM to develop a large 
 repertoire of these expressions. In this workshop\, we introduce academic 
 expressions that are commonly used in STEM research articles with authentic 
 examples. Participants will walk away with a better understanding of common 
 academic expressions in STEM\, and be able to use them as a resource to 
 improve their scientific writing competency.\n\n\n\nFacilitator: Dr. Xuan
