It is still possible to book workshops with the language consultant for the upcoming term. Please contact Claes Lindskog for more information.

The language consultant for the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology, Claes Lindskog, gives lectures and workshops in academic writing and reading, with the aim to help the subjects develop the students’ academic literacy. These workshops are available free of charge to all courses within HT, on all levels, in both Swedish and English. The lectures and workshops are practically oriented and can be customised to meet the specific needs of the subject and the students. For example, the language consultant may show the students:

• how to plan their studies
• how to read course books and academic texts efficiently and effectively.
• how to make the writing process as efficient and hassle-free as possible
• how to identify and solve common problems in academic writing
• how to make their texts clear, precise, well-structured, and correct in terms of grammar, word choice, punctuation, and paragraphing
• how to use feedback and other available resources.

Ideally, the language consultant would give one or two workshops per course, clearly integrated with the other teaching moments on the course, and with clear progression between different levels. The language consultant can’t undertake to advise or coach individual students, however, but for that you can turn to the Academic Support Centre.
