Academic writing in teaching
At the "Kompetenzzentrum Schreiben", we pursue a subject-sensitive approach when it comes to academic writing in studies, research and teaching. In the field of teaching in particular, this means that we work with lecturers to find appropriate strategies to promote students' academic writing.
Our various services include individual teaching consultations on all questions relating to academic writing in teaching, the continuing education course SCHREIBEN LEHREN, in which different topics are focused on and a specific writing course is designed for students in the respective subject area, and the textographer program, for which we advise lecturers on the design of a writing-intensive subject course and in which students trained by us give peer text feedback to the participating students as part of this course.
A new option for lecturers is to take the "Professional Teaching Skills for Higher Education" certificate programme offered by the Office of Educational Innovation and University Didactics, which focuses on writing didactics and is offered in cooperation with the Kompetenzzentrum Schreiben.
