課程概述

This course consists of two hours of lectures/class discussions and one hour of group discussions/writing tasks. The two-hour lecture/class discussion equips students with essential fundamental knowledge of writing English research papers and conducting English presentations. The one-hour group discussion enables students to practice their knowledge and skills using authentic publications. By the end of the training, students are expected to complete an individual term paper or a collaborative writing project, applying the moves and techniques learned from the course. Additionally, students are provided with the opportunity to apply their trained presentation strategies and techniques in conducting their simulation presentations.

A distinctive aspect of this course is its integration of AI technology. The curriculum includes an introduction to AI tools, such as SciSpace and ChatGPT4o. Their applications are embedded in the writing process, particularly before and after writing practice.
