Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: It is aimed to develop students' research, academic writing and speaking skills. Quoting in academic language is also intended to expand and support the basic research and writing techniques they have learned previously, including summarizing with translations of the citation into their own words.
Course Content: Students are guided in the structure of the official report and in the correct use of headings and subheadings. It tries to gain the ability to make source analysis and interpret information correctly, especially for studies that require research. In addition to writing studies, it also aims to improve speaking skills through presentations and oral studies in the course. At the end of the course, students are expected to be able to conduct research through writing and oral transfer.
