Forum Synopsis

Developing and deploying alternative forms of energy has become a vital concern over the past several years. Sustainable energy sources represent the most significant advances in conserving our planet’s resources and protecting us from further climate change. The transition to a sustainable energy system implies increasing energy efficiency, minimizing environmental impact, reducing energy and carbon intensity, and correcting energy market gaps. The purpose of the forum is to find scientific solutions to ensure universal access to reliable and affordable sources of energy needed to ensure a safe, clean, healthy, and sustainable environment and taking into account the inevitable restrictions on a global scale caused by climate change.

The forum will address the following questions:

• Are green energy technologies the solution to replacing the fossil-fuel-powered grid?
• How can fluctuating energy sources such as sun and wind be integrated into existing grids, ongoing industrial processes, and flexible, individual mobility?
• How can renewable energy benefit the environment?
• What are the main barriers to the development of renewable energy sources?

The forum is scheduled for 22 February 2022, 10:00 – 14:00 (GMT) / 13:00 – 17:00 (MSK)

1. An Introduction to English Rhetoric in Academic Writing & Beyond

What is rhetoric? Perhaps even more important to us in university settings, what role does it play in the many forms of English-language writing and oral communication that we engage in as academics (e.g., journal articles, query letters, book and grant proposals, conference talks/lectures, scholarly debates, etc.)? In this English immersive and highly supportive course, we will explore:

1) rhetoric’s role in English-language academic work and beyond,

2) the main elements and functions of argument and rhetorical devices in English-language contexts, and

3) how we, as emerging and established scholars, might identify, anticipate, and engage in effective rhetorical strategies across the various forms of English academic writing and oral communication.

The course starts February 8, Tuesday evenings from 5:00 -7:00 p.m. (Moscow Time) 

Duration: 72 acad. hours Register now

2. Public and Social Scholarship in English: Improving Impact Through Effective Presentation Skills, Media Usage, and Collaboration

The scholarship isn’t entirely what it used to be. While many elements of scholarship remain unchanged—i.e., the need to research and write up our findings—other elements of effective scholarship are either new or influx to meet the realities of a digital, highly globalized age. This course, offered entirely in English, provides an opportunity to engage with several increasingly important elements of present-day scholarship: namely, the public and the social. We’ll cover a range of topics related to building a public and social scholarly persona in English, including demonstrating effective English-language presentation skills and translating one’s work from academia to the broader international public sphere. We’ll discuss how to leverage the media—including social media—for research impact, and we’ll explore how we might better collaborate with scholars across varying cultures, disciplines, and linguistic backgrounds. Delivered in English with built-in English-language support, this course is designed to serve as a primer on scholarship today—what’s different, what’s new, what’s critical.

The course starts February 10, Thursday evenings from 5:00-7:00 p.m. (Moscow Time) 

Duration: 72 acad. hours Register now

Research Writing: Teaching Approaches and Assessment Practice
October 30, 2021 http://nwcc-conference.ru/
Registration http://nwcc-conference.ru/registration

ABOUT NWCC Conference
For an English for Research Publication Purposes (ERPP) course to obtain true accreditation, language professionals must have a framework of core competencies, knowledge of academic practice in terms of academic literacy, academic discourse, and disciplinary differences. Although the ERPP language professionals are becoming increasingly confident in using different approaches to teaching research writing, however assessment of the written product still poses very many problems, mostly connected with research content.
Therefore, many academic staff in the wider university community are concerned that ERPP programs should balance teaching academic language and introducing subject matter that is likely to be different in different research fields. In view of the issues mentioned above, the questions arise: who teaches research writing, who should teach it, and how achievement should be assessed.
