International Joint Classroom between Ilia State University and the University of G\u00f6ttingen: The Online Experience of Academic Writing Partnerships<\/p>\n

What are the Academic Writing Partnerships?
\n<\/strong>
\nDuring one semester, 2 to 4 students of various countries, different cultural backgrounds and disciplines work together on an academic writing project of their choice. It can be an academic essay, but also different genres such as a report or an entry for an academic blog. The summer term 2021 will bring together students from the Georg-August University of G\u00f6ttingen in Germany and students from the Ilia State University in Tbilisi, Georgia. They will engage in a Collaborative Online Intercultural Learning (COIL) experience.<\/p>\n

What will you learn?
\n<\/strong>
\nYou and your partners will get to know helpful techniques for academic writing processes. By working on a collaborative writing project, you will learn a lot about different types of texts, structure, style, referencing and paraphrasing. Help will be provided by tutors during your entire writing process. You will also get to know students from a culture very different from yours and reflect on your experience while working with them. This will contribute to the development of your intercultural skills. You will also expand your insight in writing traditions of other countries and cultures. But, most of all, you will be able to reflect on and improve your own writing process. After having completed the project, you will receive a certificate detailing your work and indicating the skills you have gained.<\/p>\n

How will you start?
\n<\/strong>
\nTwo initial online workshops in May 2021 will help you to get to know each other, choose partners and to decide upon a specific topic for your text. The broad topic for this semester will be \u2018Living in a Post-Corona world: Where do we go from here?\u2019, but you are free to choose other topics as well. During the workshops, you will also acquire knowledge about the writing process and ways to organize your own writing and reflect on it.<\/p>\n

How will you continue?
\n<\/strong>
\nAfter the initial sessions, you will be on a five-week timeline to finish your writing project. You will exchange
\nwith your partners but you will also get feedback from tutors during previously fixed online meetings.<\/p>\n

How is the timeline?
\n<\/strong>
\nMay 10th \u2013 May 14th: individual work on assignments in advance
\nMay 15th, 12.00 p.m. \u2013 4.30 p.m.: 1 st online kick-off workshop
