Simulating academic research: one approach to a study-skills course

Roger Budd

Roger Budd is an EFL teacher and teacher-trainer in the ELT Unit at Christ Church College, Canterbury, UK, where he gained an MA (TEFL). He has taught previously in France, Nigeria, Sweden and Cameroon. Current interests include developing the use of word-processing techniques in EFL teaching and teacher-training courses.

This article describes a month-long experiment, carried out by a multinational group of students on a pre-sessional Study Skills course. The experiment consisted of simulating a piece of genuine academic research. The rationale for the simulation, and a description of the day-to-day progress, are presented, as well as a short evaluation, including the change in teacher-learner role and learner expectation that it required.
