Scientific English Writing EST
Lesson Plan for Graduate Students (Writing Course) Science writing in our country, according to many experts in English, is in fact scientific translation from Chinese to English. That is to say, all the Chinese college graduates are able to write academic papers in Chinese. The problem is how they can put their papers into English versions. Quite a few professors and graduate students at our university sent their papers to the well-known technical journals abroad such as the American Ieee and the british iee. The reviewers' comment may often be like this: What you described in the paper is O.K. But your English is poor Please improve it( Or Please rewrite your paper entirely

1、individual sentence writing, which is connected with the application of grammatical rules in a different way. The 1st step in science writing is to write each sentence correctly at least in grammar so that communication with foreigners can be realized. 2、paper writing, which deals with how to organize sentences in a paper by use of the patterns preferred by foreign scientists and engineers. 3、mistake correction for a few paper written in English by some professors or Ph.D. candidates at our university. What we'll do in class mainly is do exercises together . That is, " Practice First". This course comprises mainly 3 parts:
