IPCITI 2016

12 December 2016

Dublin City University, Ireland

Pre-conference workshop: Dr. Marion Winters (Heriot Watt University) and Prof. Jenny Williams (Dublin City University).

Rationale:

In a globalized world English has become the lingua franca of international academic conferences, with all the attendant pros and cons. While a lingua franca enables researchers from different language communities to understand and communicate with each other, it can disadvantage those for whom the language in question is not their native language, regardless of the quality of the content. It can be daunting enough to present your research to an international group of scholars. To do so in a foreign language adds an additional potential layer of difficulty.

Aim:

The aim of the workshop is to provide training in delivering oral presentations of research in English for non-native English speakers. Drawing on their personal experiences, the trainers will share tips and tricks. The workshop will be interactive and participants will have an opportunity to practise their skills as well as to receive and provide constructive criticism from their peers.
