Correction Service
The Correction Service supports researchers and fellows in expressing their ideas more effectively in written academic English.
This is done through tutorials which address language and textual issues and give targeted teaching support.
Discussion between the researcher and their English tutor makes correction a learning opportunity to improve writing skills.
The English Unit does not accept papers for correction from mid-June to the end of September
Correction is offered for the following:
-
Seminar papers
-
End-of-first-year papers
-
Forum papers (Department of Economics)
-
Second-year chapters (max. 60 pages)
-
Articles, conference papers, working papers, etc. can also be corrected internally, at the discretion of the English Unit.
The service is not a proof-reading service
Procedure for submitting a correction
Each correction is followed by a feedback session to:
-
Clarify doubts or questions with the correction or problem areas that have emerged
-
Develop strategies for learning from your errors
-
Provide exercises and/or discuss areas for further language revision
-
Assist in setting up a plan for the next phase of the writing process
In order to use the service researchers should have :
-
followed at least 80% of an academic writing course where this has been specified.
-
been exempted from following academic writing courses.
This requirement does not apply to fellows; check with the English Unit, language@eui.eu
