Academic Writing: Activities and Expectations
1. Write what you know/need to know.
Write for an audience.
“Why you, why me?”
2. Outline in Korean, write in English. As an editor, I can build up low-level written English but I have to tear down poorly-translated
high-level Korean to English and start over.Outlining is the key to good organization and reasoning.
3. Five errors to focus on: s/v, verb tense, plurals, capitalization, and punctuation. Mark what you have taught them.
4. Look at successful examples of the style you want to write.
Read for format and grammar points, not only content.
5. Hwp is the devil.
6. Clear submissions policies help prepare students for submitting to journals. Be clear about deadlines and what the punishments
are on your syllabus in writing.
7. Bolster your credibility. Write something useful in the style you want your students to write. If it's published, it's an even better
example.
