課程概述

本課程為研究所課程,並由三位老師合授。授課目標為幫助學生熟悉學術溝通之專業能力,並增加學術發展之潛能。首先,學生將學習建立人際網路之溝通策略,了解如何建立研究夥伴的關係。此外,學生也將嘗試模擬研討會中的不同角色,如:報告者、主持人、與談人等,實際演練國際研討會的進行模式。最後,透過課堂寫作練習活動,學生將分析多則文本範例,學習在不同的情境撰寫個人的學術背景簡介,並掌握回覆期刊審查人意見的各項策略。

This course is intended to familiarize students with the professional skills needed to communicate effectively in academia and to maximize their achievement in their academic careers. Students will be introduced to useful communication strategies and tactics helpful for networking or establishing a rapport with potential research collaborators. In addition, they will learn techniques needed to play different roles (e.g., a presenter, a session chair, a mediator) at conferences and seminars to deliver a well-structured presentation and a successful Q&A session. Finally, through in-class writing tasks, students will further strengthen their hands-on experience and apply their acquired knowledge to the analysis of three common types of genres: academic profiles, professional bios, and response letters.
