Description
Scientific writing is a, and perhaps the key competence one
acquires during tertiary education. Not only students who acquire
this skill, but also lecturers who teach writing for higher
education are confronted with a series of challenges.
A new web-based learning environment, based on applied research, is
currently developed as an interdepartmental cooperation between the
“Faculty of Applied Linguistics” (Prof. Otto Kruse, Dr. Madalina
Chitez) and “Faculty Management and Law” at the Zurich University
of Applied Sciences. The learning environment will introduce
students to the process of writing a final thesis and enables them
to acquire several competences in writing.
