English for academic purposes

Writing for Assignments

The new semester is just around the corner, and if you are thinking about doing it better than last semester or just want to brush up on your academic skills, don’t worry! The Student Learning Support Service is running a Winter Break English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Writing for Assignments workshop to help you reflect on your learning and prepare for your upcoming semester.

Come along to the workshop to develop your writing skills and receive study support from our learning advisors. The workshop will cover how to:

• reflect on your assignment feedback
• get started with writing your assignment
• structure your writing; and
• develop learning goals for your future assignments.

The workshops will be run by Claire and Cece – they’re former Flinders' students turned learning experts, so they know how to face a new semester! You’ll also get the chance to meet other students as you learn from your feedback and prepare for your future assignments in a fun, safe, focussed environment.

Please be aware you will need to complete a pre-class activity before attending your workshop. More details about this will be sent in the week prior to your workshop.

Paraphrasing and Referencing

Have you ever struggled to integrate evidence into your writing? Or you might have found the perfect resource to support your argument, but you’re not sure how to paraphrase its key ideas properly, or how to reference it correctly. If this sounds familiar, our Winter Break English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Paraphrasing and Referencing workshop is for you!

The workshops will be run by Claire and Cece – former Flinders’ students turned learning experts who will help you build your paraphrasing and referencing skills through fun and interactive activities.  

This workshop will cover:

• when to quote and when to paraphrase
• frequently asked referencing questions
• the difference between in-text citations and reference lists

You’ll meet other students in a friendly, safe, and focussed environment. If you attend on campus, you will also get the chance to apply your newly-developed skills to your own learning goals with a study session in the Learning Lounge supported by our learning advisors.

Please be aware you will need to complete a pre-class activity before attending your workshop. More details about this will be sent in the week prior to your workshop.
