The seminar aims to provide students with a toolkit of writing strategies in Portuguese and to enhance their research skills. To build critical thinking and to observe academic conventions in different kinds of textual practice (abstracts, conference papers, journal articles, essays, dissertations, project drafting) are main goals of this course, where students will also learn to access resources such as library websites and online databases. Students will be encouraged to present their own research projects and to engage in reflexive approaches to reading, planning, drafting, revising and reviewing activities, while perfecting their mastery of Portuguese for academic purposes.
