Original online courses and consultations for those who need English for academic purposes and who want to write academic texts, essays, and research articles in English.
With the internationalization processes happening in Russian higher education today, the teaching of English academic writing is an issue of current importance. However, although English is included in all university curricula as a mandatory subject, English academic writing is still left beyond most of the programmes in Russian schools of higher learning. Go-Academic online courses will allow you to get additional knowledge and form the academic writing competencies, which you might not have acquired in your official professional or learning settings.
The Go-Academic project has been launched to promote Russian science in the global research community, to develop academic literacy in Russia and to facilitate the integration of Russian researchers and university students into the international scientific and academic contexts.
The Go-Academic project aims to facilitate the international academic mobility of university students, teachers, and researchers working in Russian Higher education. The academic mobility clause is included in the Federal Law 'On the education in Russian Federation' (N 273-ФЗ), dated December 29, 2012 (edited February 17, 2021). With English becoming the lingua franca of science, the academics in most of the Russian schools of higher learning get promoted based on their publications in English language journals or on their participation in international conferences. With this in view, Go-academic aims to help non-English speaking researchers in Russia form English writing competency to realize their professional objectives in academic and labour mobility.
Each course consists of several modules. The modules (from two to five depending on the length of a course) include video lectures, PDF presentations, and exercises to recycle and train the skills to write in English. The main advantage of Go-academic classes is the opportunity to write a complete text in English under the instructor's supervision. What is even more important is that the participants will get detailed personal written corrective feedback on their work with suggestions for improving their writing.
