Keith Hodson, the founder of ACCENT EUROPE, has developed two very specific training courses intended for PhD students and researchers that are given on behalf of the EcoleDoctorale de Lyon (University of Lyon).
These training courses are based on experience acquired from 30 years of work for research.
- Writing scientific articles in English
and
- Oral communication in English for scientific conferences
ACCENT EUROPE also provides these training courses on behalf of SCIENCES IMPACT and RITME, two companies specialised in training intended for scientific establishments.
Every year,PhD students from all over the world come to study in the laboratories of the universities and research institutes in Lyon. They are able to attend professional training courses that provide them with additional competences.
The Writing Scientific Articles in English training course is designed to aid them to write efficiently in a language that is not their own; writing concise texts on highly complex subjects is far from easy, even for native English speakers.
More than an English course, it is a genuine written communication course in which the students learn to structure their thoughts so that a third person can understand the importance of their research work without having to contact the author for verification. The methodology used helps the students to become more autonomous and more at ease when writing in another language.
How can speaking in public and holding the audience’s attention be made less difficult? How can one make what one says sound interesting and highlight the specific characteristics of one’s work within a very limited time? This training course is designed to answer these questions and help PhD students and researchers to present their works at conferences, symposiums and seminars. The trainees learn to present their work with more confidence, spontaneity and reactivity, control their speech and pronunciation, and give their message rhythm in a foreign language.
More than a language course, it is a genuine communication course where each participant learns that their most important tools are their voices, bodies and gestures. They also learn how to synchronise and modulate these tools in order to ensure the success of their presentations along with efficient use of the visual media chosen, whether PowerPoint or other applications.
