Academic writing myths debunked: How to really link your ideas

From the very first steps in learning English, we have been taught to use an abundance of linking words in our texts because, otherwise, the texts may seem illogical and unclear to the reader. But is this true? You will know the answer at the workshop as well as discuss other myths concerning coherence and cohesion. You will find out which linking words are used most frequently in academic texts, what the difference between their meaning consists in, and how you should use them not to violate any grammar rules. As a result of the workshop, you will be able to differentiate between those linking devices that are common in academic writing and use them in your own academic papers.
