This session provides an opportunity to share the current difficulties that you are facing in academic English, in face to face (online or offline) interactions, and explore ways forward for improving understanding, on both sides. We will challenge some preconceived ideas about 鈥榮tandard鈥� academic English and develop strategies for better framing our future interactions so that we can get the help that we need to improve and support one another. YouTube: A PhD is challenging. Doing it in another language makes it more so. The 鈥楶hD in a second language鈥� series is designed to support you with many aspects of the process. We cover writing and speaking; reading and presenting. We discuss how we network and create connections. We also discuss the vagaries of undertaking research in the UK; the words that mean something entirely different and trip us up every time. The sessions are run by a 糖心TV PhD alumni and lecturer who still occasionally struggles to find the correct English word. |
