Approach
During the meetings, you will work on the material in groups under the guidance of an experienced teacher. You will also work independently to write your own scientific texts. Each week we will cover a separate part of the writing process, such as introduction and methodology.
Based on your group’s submitted work, the instructor will work out the most important areas for improvement in customized exercises. These exercises cover all facets of writing a scientific article.
Teaching Materials
Please bring two texts to the first meeting:
-
- a draft article that you have written yourself, in which you will apply the material covered in class each week.
- a sample article of your choice written by a native speaker and published in a journal where you would also like to publish.
Based on the work your group has submitted, the instructor will identify the key areas for improvement. These will be translated into customized exercises that cover all aspects of writing a scientific article.
Teachers
You will be taught by an experienced teacher who will guide you through the writing process. You will receive personal feedback on your writing and will work specifically on your development points.
Certificate of Participation
You will receive a certificate of participation from us if you have actively participated in at least 80% of the meetings.

4.8/5 op basis van 120 reviews
Good choice to enrich your language skills
Took a course to improve my English writing skills. Am very satisfied with the way the course is mostly practical in design, making it immediately useful. The instructor has the right skills and can convey the material well.
Excellent instructors and engaging, interactive learning materials
Took an English course online for three months in a class of +- 15 people. The material is very engaging and current, which makes learning easier and more fun. Also, the classes are very interactive, which means you stay focused and talk a lot in English.
Approachable, good content
The step was quite big for me to start, but the entry level is very accessible. All aspects are adequately covered; speaking, listening, reading, grammar. You get good feedback. Because there is a lot of material to do independently, you can get as much out of it as you want.
