TAILIEUCHUNG - ©Birte Christ with Greta Olson, “Writing Academic Papers in English”

The literary and informational texts chosen for study should be rich in content. Since certain works are products of exceptional craft and thought, all students should have access to these especially strong models of thinking and writing. This includes texts that have broad resonance and are referred to and quoted often, such as influential political documents, foundational literary works, and seminal historical and scientific texts. At the same time, reading substantive contemporary fiction engages students in the world and culture around them, just as reading thoughtful contemporary works in science and other disciplines enables students to reflect on pertinent issues. | Birte Christ with Greta Olson Writing Academic Papers in English Institut fur Anglistik Justus-Liebig-Universitat Giessen Writing Academic Papers in English PART I Primary Research Working with Your Ideas p. 2 1.
