The most important thing is to practice more for me now. As for my English level at this stage, I think what I have learned now needs to be deeply understood for a period of time.]]> 2020-11-05 04:11:55 UTC https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/892660918 Feng Yezhuo (fyz) https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/892813890 I get confused when I hear some technical terms that I don't understand.]]> 2020-11-05 05:37:59 UTC https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/892813890 Feng Yezhuo (fyz) https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/892817916 When some professional terms appear, I will feel confused. Because these words are hard to guess from a context for me.So I have to stop reading and look it up in the dictionary, which will affect the fluency of reading.]]> 2020-11-05 05:40:14 UTC https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/892817916 Feng Yezhuo (fyz ) https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/892826469 When the teacher talks about professional terms, he or she can explain them with some popular words.]]> 2020-11-05 05:45:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/892826469 I hope the ppt which is used in the class can send to us before the class so that we can do some notes directly on the material. s1136538 https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893184577 2020-11-05 08:24:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893184577 I quite like the atmosphere in class. I believe I can benefit a lot from this class because some practical tips and skills of academic writing are taught in this class. It is very useful for my future career. s1136538 https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893197118 2020-11-05 08:29:07 UTC https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893197118 In previous random panel discussions, the oral English gap greatly made me feel unable to integrate into the discussion. I really want to use Chinese to undergo the discussion sometimes. But the situation is getting better after free grouping by ourselves. s1136538 https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893207190 2020-11-05 08:33:04 UTC https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893207190 the same answer as the above s1136538 https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893212795 2020-11-05 08:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893212795 https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893404971 yes, I like this course. it is very practical for academic writing.
I want learn more about specific vocabulary and grammar for writing. ]]> 2020-11-05 09:58:28 UTC https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893404971 https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893413934 some parts for English teacher, such as ]]> 2020-11-05 10:02:44 UTC https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893413934 This course offers in-depth analysis of some commonly seen types of academic publications. However, there could be some in-class writing practice and sharing among students to allow exchange of knowledge and information. Because of the variation in writing styles of different students, we can learn from one's pros and cons. https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893458309 2020-11-05 10:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893458309 The idea of reading required texts is brilliant when learning generic formats of academic genre. In stead of reading, I will suggest having more writing exercise that mimic specific type of writing with given ideas and feedback. It would improve our confidence to writing as well as to following their overall structures. https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893465620 2020-11-05 10:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893465620 https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893475935 The need to produce a 8000 words group essay is quite "out of the frame" due to the primary purpose of this course is to learn and execute the generally accepted overall formats of various academic writing, not produce a authentic research as commonly seen in MRes or MPhi courses. I would appreciate if there is more writing exercises, e.g. individual essay and feedback on how to improve our work.]]> 2020-11-05 10:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893475935 https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893563291 One of my favourite things about this course is that I've learned how to analyse various academic publications. I think it's essential for post-grad learners to distinguish which articles are well-written and which are not; this way, we'll be equipped with the skills to write high-quality papers ourselves. ]]> 2020-11-05 11:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893563291 I enjoy the practical aspect as it aids our dissertaion writing tremendously. I think students may benefit from additional in-class practise on academic disourse, both oral and writing. In this way, not only can the participation be inspired, but also the workload of professor can be ligher, since the professor is functioning as a supporter instead of teacher. https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893563646 2020-11-05 11:17:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893563646 How to write academic writing and reading some paper are my favorite parts. I want teacher teach us how to search good papers. https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893564378

If we can have more class exercises where we have to write, I guess it'll be better.]]> 2020-11-05 11:30:25 UTC https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893586933 https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893590873
If we are going to write an academic review, the title should be “An Academic Review : (the title of the publication being reviewed)”. Or, can it be “An Academic Review : (the title of the publication being reviewed), (Our subtopic)”?]]> 2020-11-05 11:32:48 UTC https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893590873 https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893599113 The group presentation is supposed to be a shorter version of our written paper, right?]]> 2020-11-05 11:37:37 UTC https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893599113 https://padlet.com/dzou1/1/wish/893611425 I really appreciate additional  materials like the phrasebank and the Quizlet class.
