"Workshop "How to write a review in English" 英文レビュー作成ワークショップ

The Linguistic Society of Japan regularly holds English tutorial workshops to promote English-based submissions to its journal "Gengo Genkyu (言語研究)". In 2022, the topic is how to write a review of previous literature in English. Reviewing literature is one of the important parts when writing a journal paper. Not only should the author understand and introduce the contents of the literature, but also they are expected to explain why the review is necessary and how the literature relates to their own research. In the upcoming workshop, a selected number of participants will write a review in English and will receive comments from an English-speaking instructor. The commentary session will provide tips when writing in English using submitted sample materials by successful applicants.


This workshop is supported by a JSPS grant 科学研究費・研究成果公開促進費(国際情報発信強化) to the Linguistic Society of Japan, and is co-sponsored by Language and Information Sciences at the University of Tokyo.
