Popis The teaching of academic writing (AW) has been influenced by insights from multiple disciplines. By drawing on them, AW instructors have at their disposal a range of tried and tested techniques for the development of their students’ writing skills. The workshop will offer participants a number of best practices for teaching AW to PhD students in the context of EFL, but applicable to all higher-education students. It will explore a set of approaches by invoking the classic communication model. In the author/sender-oriented approach, specific techniques from the field of creative writing will be suggested for helping students as they move through the stages of the writing process. In the text/message-oriented approach, the workshop will draw on genre studies and corpus linguistics to demonstrate to students the use of genre-specific, lexico-grammatical, and rhetorical features in academic texts and how they can incorporate them in their own writing. In the reader/receiver-oriented approach, the workshop will look at activities developed around the target journals our students wish to publish in and the process of peer-reviewing. Overall, the workshop content will reflect the author’s experience of using the above-mentioned techniques in the development of his students’ AW skills. In addition, it will offer a critical evaluation of these techniques, highlighting some of their advantages and disadvantages.
