				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Writing correctly and clearly is an important part of learning basic professional skills that you can later use anywhere. If you are not easily understood by your reader, it will be quite hard for you to establish an online presence or build any online relationships. However, in this era where the online environment is taking over, <a href="http://awuc.misis.ru/academic-writing-and-rhetoric-september-09/">writing effectively</a> is one of the biggest assets you could develop. From writing e-mails to official letters or even essays, you should be preparing yourself for what is to come. Here is a guide on how to write correctly and efficiently and how to improve yourself on this subject.</p>
<p><span id="more-3645"></span></p>
<p><strong>Step One: Writing Clearly and Correctly</strong></p>
<p>The first and most important skill to develop is writing clearly. If your writing is not eligible, you will be unable to convey your message properly. Therefore, you must:</p>
<ul>
<li>Choose the words that best fit in the context. Make sure that the English words that you are using mean the exact thing that you are thinking. Words have both denotative and connotative meanings, so choose definitions that fit your message the best. For example, the words big, huge, and immense imply the same thing, but they are different in connotation. To be able to use the right words, you must be able to understand its definition. So, it is important to also look for definitions of the words you don’t fully understand. You could always check the <a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/">Merriam-Webster online dictionary</a>.</li>
<li>Give meaning to the words “this,” “that,” or “those.” Writing something like, “<strong>This</strong> is the reason why I would like to apply for a position at your company” doesn’t make sense unless it follows the actual reason why you are interested. Make sure that what you are referring to when writing “this” or “that” or “those” is clear in the given context.</li>
<li>Use multiple short sentences instead of a long one. This makes the message you are trying to deliver more interesting and thus, clearer to the reader. Try to stay away from using too many commas and ideas in one sentence.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Step Two: Writing Concisely</strong></p>
<p>The second thing to consider when learning how to write properly is writing concisely. When you are concise, you’re to the point and objectively explaining what you mean. This is important as it helps the reader understand your perspective better and thus, engage with you more easily. Here are some of the most important points on how to write concisely.</p>
<ul>
<li>Eliminate all the unnecessary add-ons. Make sure that your message is easily readable and conveys the information that you want to send; however, don’t let the message get too long by adding too many details. If the reader requires further details, you could add them at a later time. If you’ve included unnecessary phrases in your content and thus, repeat yourself extensively, ensure that you delete those redundancies. Nobody likes to waste their time reading the same thing over and over again.</li>
<li>Use a clear voice and straightforward language. Ensure that you are saying exactly what you mean. For example, writing something like, “It came to my attention that the people next door are bothering myself and my family by making redundant noise” is not at all concise. You could replace that with, “I noticed that my neighbors are making too much noise and it bothers me.” The second, correct option expresses the same idea but in a more concise, easy-to-read format. To check whether you’re writing correctly or not, you can always contact an essay writing service UK Consulting with someone who’s proficient in this field can be quite efficient, as you could learn even more from them.</li>
<li>Try to write everything in the <a href="https://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-active-and-passive-voice.html">active voice</a> rather than the passive. Using the active voice gives your content a more professional look and enhances the underlying meaning behind your message. It adds impact to the reader as you change the subject from passive to active. For example, saying that “the noise situation was changed by the neighbors” is not as impactful as stating that “the neighbors changed their behavior and stopped making noise.”</li>
<li>Avoid using phrases such as “there is,” “there are.” For example, stating that “there are many kids talking outside my dorm” is not as efficient as saying, “many kids are talking outside my dorm.”</li>
<li>Eliminate unnecessary words from your text. Efficient writing means compressing your message into a more easily readable format and thus, eliminating any extra nouns or verbs from your message. For example, stating that “Anne was interested in the computer data processing field” could be summarized to, “Anne was interested in data processing.” It’s as easy as that.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Step Three: Applying What You’ve Learned </strong></p>
<p>Learning how to write clearly, correctly, and concisely is not enough – you must apply the knowledge in the real-world. Thus, ensure that you are taking time to practice all the information that you’ve gathered in order to grasp it even better. You could write e-mails to friends or family and ask for their feedback or contact the services that I mentioned before to ask them for an objective opinion. In the end, practice is the key to mastering anything, so here’s a cool piece of advice: practice writing daily!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Writer’s block is one of the greatest challenges that most writers around the world face. It doesn’t matter if you write blog posts or American Novels. Writer’s block not only lowers your self-confidence but also steals your writing motivation. So, how do you <a href="http://awuc.misis.ru/rich-and-concise-how-to-tell-more-using-fewer-words/">write</a> when it’s so hard to get going? In this article, we are going to share with you a few simple tips that will help you keep on keeping on. But first, let’s find out what a muse is.</p>
<p><span id="more-3642"></span></p>
<h2>Defining a muse</h2>
<p>A muse is a source of inspiration. However, it’s not the inspiration in itself. Think of it as going to the fountain to retrieve water. The water comes from the fountain. But the fountain is not water. According to ancient writers, muses were the daughters of Kings. Writers would invoke muses before writing a piece. Invoking can be defined as appealing to something like a spirit or higher being for inspiration.</p>
<p>Writers used to invoke the muses to help them access their powers. Their bodies would be used as vessels that these special forces would act through.</p>
<p>As a writer in the modern world, you don’t have to accept or believe in a muse. When you don’t feel like writing, a muse will not help you. It will not be there for you when life gets difficult. Or when you have other things to do apart from writing. In all these situations, a muse will distract and destroy you.</p>
<p>According to custom essay writing service, it’s your responsibility to write without inspiration. This may hurt at the moment. But it will pay back in spades in the long run. You see, it’s easy to postpone writing when you want to watch TV, hang out with friends or scroll your feed. You need to make writing your job.</p>
<h2>Tips to get started</h2>
<h3>1.      Break down big projects</h3>
<p>We are all scared of big and complex projects. Most writers will find themselves procrastinating just to avoid the task or project. The best way to solve this problem is by breaking the project down into simple and manageable chunks. If you are feeling too lazy, focus on doing one thing at a time. Start by writing the heading and the first three sentences. You’ll be amazed at the progress you’ll make in a few minutes.</p>
<h3>2.      Write for a short amount of time</h3>
<p>Setting an alarm or timer on your mobile phone or microwave and writing for around 15 to 20 minutes will get started easily. Once you get started, it becomes much easier to continue with the task once the timer or alarm goes off.</p>
<h3>3.      Write a specified number of words</h3>
<p>If you notice that you like <a href="https://www.collegexpress.com/articles-and-advice/majors-and-academics/blog/top-10-ways-avoid-procrastination/">procrastinating</a>, you need to write a specified number of words before you stop. This will help you save time and energy. And most importantly, increase your momentum. Aim for something like 200 words. Remember, it’s all in the mind. Once you get rid of distractions and focus on your work, you’ll make tremendous progress.</p>
<h3>4.      Write in a new environment</h3>
<p>Are there distractions in your current environment? Is your phone ringing and buzzing all the time? Are the children playing and screaming? Do notifications keep popping up on your computer? Distractions are the number one killers of productivity and performance.</p>
<p>If you want to get started, you need to eliminate all distractions in your environment. If this is impossible, you should consider changing your environment. Find a local park. Library or coffee shop. You’ll be surprised by the number of words you’ll write in a quiet and peaceful environment.</p>
<h3>5.      Spend a couple of minutes brainstorming</h3>
<p>If you are having a hard time organizing your thoughts and ideas, it’s important to brainstorm. One of the best ways to brainstorm is to use a mind mapping program or app that will help you make connections with your ideas.</p>
<p>Brainstorming will save you a lot of time and energy in the long run. The best thing about is it is not time-consuming. All you need is 10 to 15 minutes to come up with great ideas and break down a large project into manageable chunks.</p>
<h3>6.      Get enough sleep</h3>
<p>The mind is a complex organ that cannot be fully understood. Scientific studies have shown that sleep improves the brain’s performance. According to <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/expert-answers/how-many-hours-of-sleep-are-enough/faq-20057898">Mayo Clinic</a>, the average adult needs seven to nine hours of sleep every night.</p>
<p>People who sacrifice sleep tend to be less productive, unhealthy, irritable, and anxious. If you have trouble sleeping, you should consider creating a bedtime routine and seeking professional help as early as you can.</p>
<h3>7.      Read</h3>
<p>As a writer, you need to read other peoples’ works regularly to generate new ideas, form connections, and gain insights. Reading allows you to see different writing styles and come up with ways to present your ideas.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Writing is all about creativity. And creativity is a skill that anyone can develop over time. The more you use the tips that we’ve discussed here, the better your results will be. Do not give up!</p>

<h6><strong>Instructor:</strong> Leticia Medina</h6>
<p>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.</p>
<blockquote><p>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.</p>
<p><span id="more-3635"></span></p>
<p>AAWC changed my life positively. Earlier I imagined that Academic writing was like a huge dark forest, but now I better understand what it is and what I should do next. I am just in the beginning level of scientific world and all information was new for me. For instance, during the course I recognized what the IMRaD structure is, where I can find information about the Journals and its metrics. I understand how to analyzed text of the paper and choose significant information. We practiced writing our own drafts of a paper, article critique and annotated bibliography. Also, we had a lot of exercises with paraphrasing and summarizing, which are the most beneficial skills in academic writing. Another remarkable point is that now I aware of the concept of plagiarism and know how avoiding that.</p>
<p>I would like to separately note friendliness and attentiveness of our teacher – Leticia Medina. Her lessons were the best English lessons for me. In her class I lost my fear of speaking English. I know that if I did a mistake she would calmly correct me. Three hours of the lesson were passing quickly because each time Leticia offered us unusual interesting assignments and combined difficult tasks with simple ones.</p>
<p>The only unpleasant thing that ruined the overall impression of the course is Coronavirus infection. The big part of the course was transferred to the online format. Of course, these circumstances are not depending of us. Because of this it was even more sad. It is a big challenge for me speaking English on Skype, where connection was not so good and I couldn’t express my emotions. But despite all difficulties, we met every week and had a full lesson. Special thanks for this, Leticia. I hope that this autumn everything will fall into right places and we can come back to the offline format. After this summer I am planning to join another AWUC courses for learning English.</p>
<p>In conclusion, I would like to say that I am thankful to NUST “MISIS” for the opportunity to receive new knowledge absolutely free. It is great that we can learn English, talk with native speakers and become more knowledgeable in our English professional field.<br />
<cite>Anna Karabanova</cite></p></blockquote>
<p></em></p>
<blockquote><p>Advanced Academic Writing Course at the AWUC MISIS was very helpful for me. I significantly improved my knowledge of Academic English. I can admit my serious progress of the basic understanding of such important things as the scientific article structure, academic writing aspects, plagiarism, paraphrasing, citations, etc. This knowledge was also useful even in my Master&#8217;s thesis writing in Russian. I can express my thoughts really better in English and it&#8217;s easier to write research papers for me after this course. I&#8217;m planning to use these skills and publish some of my research results in scientific journals in English in the future.</p>
<p>I would like also to admit that it was really harsh for me at the beginning. I hadn&#8217;t enough vocabulary and it was even hard to understand the most complex ideas sometimes, but our teacher was so polite and attentive and this discomfort started to be not a barrier. I think that my progress of Academic English was really great and it&#8217;s not a problem for me to read intricate scientific texts, listen to and understand native speakers, analyze research articles and describe their basic concepts or even write my own research papers anymore. So this course really helped my development as a writer and survival during the pandemic especially due to the warm support of the teacher. It impacted on my life positively and inspired me to apply for a graduate school abroad. I think I have more chances for a PhD study in English after this course.</p>
<p>These classes also changed my attitude to writing articles and scientific papers. I understood that this process can be more easily if you know the rules of Academic Writing. The most favorite part of this course was its poetic and philosophical richness, so it was really interesting for me to learn Academic English. I think that this is the most important thing for me to learn not just a language, but to learn something interesting through the English study as well. It was a pity that we had this course online due to the pandemic, because it was really nice to communicate at the university at the beginning. But anyway I understood that English learning is possible even via Skype and this skill could be also useful in the future. I&#8217;m planning to have a PhD study and become a scientist, so I think it&#8217;s very important to continue my English learning. I&#8217;m thinking about Coursera and its opportunities. I also would like to continue my self-education through watching videos, films and reading books in English.</p>
<p>I would like to thank the AWUC MISIS and Leticia Medina for such amazing opportunity of English learning at so high level! This course was the ray of light in the time of the pandemic, it was also a psychological support in such hard times of the self-isolation. I really enjoyed time that I spent on English learning, understood that Academic Writing could be an interesting creative act which is not just a scientific routine, but can become something exciting  with the right approach. Advanced Academic English Writing Course improved my reading, writing, and speaking skills which are very important in an academic and professional environment. It would be a pleasure for me to participate in another AWUC course in the future.<br />

<blockquote><p>A Comparative Analysis of the Three Qualification Courses on Academic Writing That I Have Taken In the Last Three to Four Years in MISIS. A reflection.</p>
<p>Abstract</p>
<p>This is a piece of writing written in the form of an IMRaD article but in the genre of an essay. What follows is a short overview of the course taken by the author in the past four years being an English teacher at Modern Foreign Languages Department in Misis. The courses are listed and accounted for in the chronological order from the earliest one to the latest. The author gives a brief description of the course itself and the impressions that the author took away from it. The author tries to maintain the academic style but sometimes balances between objective and biased, matter-of-fact and essayey.</p>
<p>Introduction</p>
<p>In this essay or shall I call it a paper if I may I intend to relate my experience obtained in attending the three Academic Writing courses meant and designed for Misis teachers and post graduate students by three different versatile and talented coachers. I also will focus on knowledge that I familiarized myself with and  skills that I worked  on and developed.</p>
<p>Experiment #1 (The shortest and the most confusing one)</p>
<p>2016-2017</p>
<p>Fall term of the academic year of 2016-2017 had started with our big boss who will here remain nameless telling us that if we wanted to stayed employed by Misis we would have to get out research published in high impact professional journals. Otherwise, the big boss emphasized, our employment with Misis  could be jeopardized. Besides, Misis promised to provide us all with a course on academic writing whereby we would learn how to write, and most importantly, how to publish. Misis delivered on its promise and my colleagues and I joined the course which ended for most of us after the first class the reason for that being that our instructor told us that at the end of the course and as a result of her course we all would have to have an article published in a scopus-approved publication. Everybody understood that that was no joke and quit.</p>
<p>Experiment #2 (The abruptly finished one)</p>
<p>2018-2019</p>
<p>Fall term in Misis had started from the call for another academic writing course. This time the call included a standard request to complete a form and an additionally it was asking to write a sort of a cover letter to test whether the applicants had some intermediate English skills. My colleagues and I applied, some of us being a little more curious that before for the instructor apparently was an American. We started the course on a much less stressful note; our teacher was extremely friendly and agreeable, and not a word was said about us having to submit a ready article for a scopus journal, or sending theses to some conference or other. Everybody relaxed and enjoyed themselves including yours truly until the moment yours truly decided, quite unexpectedly for herself, to extend her horizons by quitting Misis and getting employed by MIPT. As I left Misis in the middle of the study year I had to leave the Academic writing course too, without completing it, but having obtained some sense of the teachers idea of what it should be like. Little did I know at the time that I would be back, re-employed at Misis within less than half a year.</p>
<p>Experiment #3 (The most surprising in so many senses of the word to say the least and the only one that I eventually completed)</p>
<p>2019-2020</p>
<p>Who would have thought at the time when still another call came to participate in still another academic writing course it would have ended the way it ended, and I mean the so called extralinguistic so to  speak circumstances around the course, not the course itself. This course has been the most comprehensive of the three I have attended and the longest one. Besides, this time despite the seeming softness, mildness and even kindness of the instructor, this course was the most intense and the most ‘packed’ with both information and the amount of home tasks. It was also the most streamlined, narrowly targeted and on point and to the point as it were. I got some things sorted out in a way that I have not before. Some of the things have become clearer and the scopus scare has dissipated not least due to the fact that in the last couple of years I have exposed myself to a lot of scientific article reading. This exposure to scientific reading was taking place on the academic writing course for the most part and off the academic writing course in the course – forgive me the tautology – of my day-to-day teaching job.</p>
<p>Results</p>
<p>It has been an amazing year academically speaking and a very odd one speaking in general terms. Now I can say that I am quite adapted to and unafraid of reading scientific articles written by researchers from all walks of life. The next logical step will be to write one myself. And the next step will be to scopus publish one.</p>
<p>Conclusion</p>
<p>Misis is a place which likes to think of itself as the most cutting edge in town. And it probably is. This is the reason why I made my comeback at the beginning of this academic year. MIPT is a place for the smartest kids in this country but from the standpoint of a teacher it is a little bit boring. Misis is a much more dynamic, much more modern, with a much younger teaching and administration staff and hence a much more desirable place to work in.</p>
<p>If and when another course in academic writing is announced I will be more than happy to attend in order to become a student again, to be loaded with homework as surely as always ‘further research is needed’ to achieve an aim of getting your work published.<br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Learning is an important objective among all the students studying across different levels. Text books are considered as one of the most important source of information utilised by a student in order to enhance their knowledge and understanding. Textbook are the part of one&#8217;s education life but with the changing learning environment, the process of learning is also significantly changed. <span id="more-3533"></span>There are innovative online platforms like <a href="https://australianassignmenthelp.com/assignment-help-melbourne">assignment help Melbourne</a>, software and videos that allows for better learning opportunities. This leads to comment by Bill Gates that it text book is not considered as the best way of learning. There are a number of points that supports this viewpoint Bill Gates. These are briefly summarised as follows:</p>
<p><strong>Learning over Internet: </strong>The availability of internet has been a good source for learners to learn in the 21st century environment. This has significantly affected the relevance of academic books because the information is readily available over internet. Anyone can easily search for any topic and can get the results in seconds. Textbook however comprises of information on a particular domain or subject area, whereas the use of internet allows the learner to search on any topic from any subject or domain area. Because of this easy availability of information on any topic on the internet, it is considered as the better source over books, and this is an important reason leading to comment by Bill Gates that textbook is not the best way to learn.</p>
<p><strong>Learning through Images: </strong>Images are a great source of information provided they are drawn in a perfect way covering all the information. It is quite boring for people to read a lot of text and they find it easier to understand and learn from an image. Studies have found that people have better tendency of recognition of information from an image as compared to text. It can be possible to efficiently position the message into people&#8217;s mind with the help of an image. The use of infographic is an example of an image which covers complete information on a topic. The facts and data can be easily informed to the user with the help of an infographic. Information on a long written piece of paper can be presented in a concise manner with the help of an infographic. This has also affected the valuables of textbook to a great extent among the learners.</p>
<p><strong>Learning through Videos: </strong>Videos can also be a good source of learning for people. The concept and theories can be presented in videos which can be a motivational source of learning. There are different types of software available that can help in creating engaging videos in order to attract the attention of learner. According to Bill Gates, instead of reading the chapter on solving equations, people can easily find out the text online and also watch a super engaging video that shows how it is done and play a game that reinforces the concept. This is an important way of learning through videos rather than using textbook. Because of the advancement in technology, it is possible that problems can be solved online and the availability of software allows the creation of new quiz questions in order to test the learning about the new ideas.</p>
<p>Because of the availability of new ways of learning and new technologies supporting the learning process of people, the relevance of textbook is declining. However it is not considered as effective to say that text book has no relevance at all, but the presence of innovative ways of learning such as online platform like <a href="https://studentlifesaviour.com/za">assignment help South Africa</a> has impacted the relevance of textbook to a great extent.</p>

<p>Leticia is an enthusiastic proponent of the collaborative classroom, in which students are encouraged to participate in the decision-making process in terms of curricula and assignment schedules. The idea is to create a classroom environment that allows students to claim agency in their own learning process.</p>
<p>Leticia’s life-long love of literature has led her to develop a passion for all things having to do with language. Spanish speaking by birth and then Spanish-English bilingual via immigration, Leticia is fluent in both those languages and has now also added French and Italian to the mix. Currently, she is attempting to learn Russian and finds this language utterly beautiful. Having lived and worked in China, Italy, México, and France, Leticia has developed strong coping skills necessary to adapt to different cultures, languages, and ways of life.</p>
<p>Leticia looks forward to the challenges and the joys that the English Language Fellows Program has in store for her and is excited to collaborate with the excellent faculty at NUST MISiS this coming academic year.</p>
