Abstract

This practice-oriented course is intended to accomplish two objectives. Firstly, it enables students to practice their English-language academic writing and presentation skills and thus to prepare themselves for entering the English-language academia. Secondly, the course is meant to facilitate the students' preparation for the defence of their BA theses in Russian. The course consists of three parts. Students submit their research project proposals in writing first. Then they are expected to present the key aspects of their BA thesis research - its relevance, scientific novelty, the theoretical framework and methodology, research findings and their significance - to the committee using a power point presentation as a prop. Finally, students are expected to provide detailed and well-substantiated answers to the questions posed by members of the committee.
