Tense and Voice in Describing and Discussing Research Findings

Facilitator: Dr Julia Chen, ELC
Date:25 Feb 2015
Time:12:30 PM - 2:00 PM
Venue:TU411

This workshop is for academic staff members who would like to further advance their research writing skills or are keen to help students become better communicators in their disciplines.  The workshop will examine how tense is often used differently in describing vs discussing findings, and explore ways to write objective sentences in active voice without employing first-person pronouns “I” or “we”.  Priority will be given to academic faculty with teaching responsibility.   

This workshop is jointly organized by the Community of Practice on Enhancing Students’ English Abilities, the UGC project Professional Development in Enhancing English Across the Curriculum, and the EDC.
