Writ­ing and learn­ing centre for Ger­man

for international students and academics

What and for whom is the writing training?

The 2- or 3-day writing training is a workshop for anyone who wants to improve their writing skills in German. The workshop is led by trained student writing consultants.

 

The writing training is aimed at international students, doctoral candidates, Paderborn University academics, exchange students from partner universities and German learners on DSH courses.

 

What do we do there?

In open dialogue with each other and in individual, pair and group exercises, we will work on creative writing exercises or our own writing projects. The aim is to develop writing routines. The following questions, for example, will be answered:

  • How does writing become a habit?
  • What is the best way to start writing a text?
  • How do I find good ideas?
  • How do I organise my thoughts?
  • How do I structure my text?
  • How do I motivate myself to write?
