This course aims to improving writing and oral presentation skills that are vital for young scholars and scientists in cognitive and behavioral sciences. Undoubtedly, it is never an easy task to present or publish one’s work in English-oriented international journals. By providing a practical guide, I will help course attendants to obtain clear focus, and apply good organization skills and straightforward, unbiased language to write academic papers as well as communicate effectively. Through lecturing, in-class discussions, writing assignments and exercises, the students will learn the essential elements of writing an abstract, a method section, and a result section for an empirical paper with the standard APA style.
