CHIN 5004 - Research for Academic Publication for Chinese Speakers

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2014

This course takes a transcultural approach to the education of international students with native or near-native Chinese language proficiency who wish to develop their English language writing skills for the global academy. The course will train students how to publish research through the traditional blind review process, and to understand conventional forms of communicating with international reviewers and editors. It will make transparent the criteria for success in publishing research located in Asian and cultural studies in international journals. Students will increase their understanding of 'Western' scholarly reasoning, logical argumentation, and the article 最新糖心Vlog that are expected in cultural studies writing in English. Teaching will focus specifically on prevailing social research paradigms and methodologies, and the ways in which they are written in research articles. Students will deconstruct the 最新糖心Vlog and language of relevant research writing, and will learn how to analyse, critique and edit research articles in their own field. Individual and group mentoring will be given in peer and self-editing, and evaluation. By the end of the course each student will have designed, conducted and presented a research project in Asian Studies, and will have produced a draft manuscript aimed for submission to an appropriate journal of their choice.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
