This class will focus on developing essential academic reading, writing, and public speaking skills primarily for graduate and post-graduate students and faculty. Participants will develop reading, writing, and speaking skills needed to be successful in an academic and professional environment. A variety of materials will give the students the opportunity to analyze and comment on written examples, generate their own exercises, improve their own original work, and prepare academic presentations. The class is designed to meet the needs and demands placed on scholars and faculty to read, write, and present formal, academic material.
This course has become for me a new impetus to learning English. My educational program involves writing scientific articles. So, I received a huge amount of useful information about specialized scientific journals, rules of clearance and submission of paper, how to avoid plagiarism, rephrase and summarizing my thoughts correctly and many other helpful tips and tricks. Furthermore, this course is not only for improving writing skills, it is also about communication. We discussed different topics with our teacher and other classmates. I can say that my speaking skills get better too. English is a universal language in scientific community. People who want to connect their life with science have to understanding researchers from different parts of the world.

I want to express many thanks to Elena Bazanova for her helpful improvements of the paper. I believe after the modification performed by Elena, the paper will be published in the journal with a higher impact factor. It is an extremely useful service in the university. I hope it will be provided for MISiS researchers as long as possible. I’ve gained a lot of new knowledge and improved my skills in English paper writing. I have received the best consultation for editing my paper after the revision.

Very productive session. I’ve got a lot of new ideas. Just wish to have some more consultations with Johanna. I discovered much more about CV and Cover Letter structure.
Also, the session helped me to see the strength that I should put in my own CV. I have a plan and feel a lot of motivation and inspiration to write my CV and Cover Letter. Many thanks! I believe everything was perfect. Planning a future article based on MA AR course experience.
