内容简介:

在过去的几十年里,写作的前沿迅速扩大,特别是随着数字时代的到来。现在,几乎每个职业都需要专业写作的能力。专业写作是指在工作场所环境中进行的写作。学术写作也是如此,它需要同样程度的专业精神。专业写作所需的许多技能也是在学术写作中取得成功所必需的。因此,本讲座着眼于其中的一些技能,并讨论在学术和专业背景下成为一名成功的作家所需的条件。这些技能包括批判性、组织性、纪律性、计划、准备和作者之声的发展。

The frontiers of writing have expanded rapidly in the past couple of decades, particularly with the advent of the digital age. Almost every career now requires the ability to write in a professional manner, with professional writing taken to mean that which is carried out in a workplace setting. The same is true of academic writing which demands the same amount of professionalism. Many of the skills that are needed to write professionally are also needed to be successful in academic writing. Therefore, this lecture looks at some of those skills and talks about what is needed to be a successful writer in both academic and professional contexts. Such skills include criticality, organization, discipline, planning, preparation and the development of an authorial voice.
