The development of academic writing skills is imperative for graduate students and young researchers who intend to pursue research or a career in academia. However, currently, the curricula in Romanian universities seldom offer support in this area. In this context, we present a four-module programme for delivering academic writing courses that have been successfully implemented in a Romanian university and can be easily replicated. Furthermore, this study provides viable strategies and offers specific and general findings regarding doctoral students' learning needs, challenges and opportunities at the institutional level.

Abstract


The development of academic writing skills is imperative for graduate students and young researchers who intend to pursue research or a career in academia. However, currently, the curricula in Romanian universities seldom offer support in this area. In this context, we present a four-module programme for delivering academic writing courses that have been successfully implemented in a Romanian university and can be easily replicated. Furthermore, this study provides viable strategies and offers specific and general findings regarding doctoral students' learning needs, challenges and opportunities at the institutional level.
