Scientific English a.y. 2021/22

Programma

The workshop focuses on English as the language of Science. It aims at supplying students 
with an adequate and varied selection of texts in order to help them develop the skills necessary for effective participation in any university course. 
The main source is the suggested textbook English from Science. Its selection of material, articles, essays, papers, literature, has followed the thread underlying the mutual fertile interchange between science and literature, the so-called two cultures. Excerpts from the works of several authors are proposed and students are guided to comment on and analyze their linguistic and stylistic aspects. The chapter also contains a detailed guide on how to write a good scientific paper. The stylistic instructions here contained are also widely applicable to any academic paper.
