The lecturer of the Department of Multicultural Education and Translation of State University “Uzhhorod National University”, Nataliya Popovych, PhD in Translation Studies, participated in a three-day Workshop “Writing with Academic Integrity: Keys to Success” which took place at Ternopil National Pedagogical University. The event was led by Robert Arthur Cote, PhD in Second Language Acquisition and Teaching (SLAT), University of Arizona, Director of Writing Skills Improvement Program (WSIP) and organized by Regional English Language Office – RELO (US Embassy in Ukraine) and American Councils for International Education (Strengthening Academic Integrity in Ukraine Project – SAIUP).
The workshop was aimed at providing the participants - University faculty staff and students of PhD programs - with a unique opportunity to hone practical skills for ELT and learn about modern methods of teaching English and teaching in English with a special emphasis on developing writing skills, using latest trends of course and assignment design as well as academic integrity tips and rules that help avoid AI misconducts and violations in academic writing.
Participants had the great opportunity to complete practical tasks on summary, analysis, and reflective writing as main types of writing. Special attention was paid to abstract writing and editing, non-evaluative feedback and peer reviewing, conference proposal writing, cover letters and resumes/CVs, and writing academic papers.
The workshop was extremely useful and of utmost importance for those Ukrainian university lecturers who hold ESP and EAP courses at non-linguistic faculties, as well as those who deliver their lectures for foreign students.
