이공계 학부생들을 위한 체계적인 영어 논문 쓰기 교재
문단 쓰기부터 시작해 영어로 논문을 완성하는 단계별 학습

서울대학교에서 영어 논문 쓰기를 강의해온 Nick Clements, Yoonsook Mo, Joel Park과 이공계 영어 교육 방법론을 연구해온 Dylan Williams가 팀을 이루어 집필한 “이공계 학생들을 위한 영어 논문 쓰기” 교재가 출간되었다. 이 책은 학부생들 수준에 맞는 예시문과 활동을 통해 영어로 논문 쓰기를 학습할 수 있도록 했으며, 설명 위주로 된 기존 교재들과 달리 수업 시간에 다양한 활동을 할 수 있도록 구성함으로써 교수자와 학생이 토론과 참여 중심의 수업을 진행할 수 있도록 했다. 또 한국인들이 흔히 범하는 문법 오류를 중점 학습함으로써 문법 학습을 효과적으로 할 수 있도록 했다. 따라서 이공계 학생들에게는 문단 쓰기부터 시작해 영어로 짧은 완성된 논문을 쓰도록 돕는 체계적인 교재이며, 학부생들에게 수준별, 스킬별 영어 논문 쓰기 교육을 실시하고자 하는 교수자들에게도 유익한 자료가 될 것이다.

What is scientific writing?
From paragraph writing to research paper writing

In science, the word ‘synergy’ denotes distinct elements which come together to produce a combined effect that is greater than the sum of its components. This concept certainly applies to the writing process of this book, which arose out of a long period of interaction and cooperation between the authors and resulted in the text that you are reading at this very moment. However, synergy applies to scientific writing as well. This is because it is a steppingstone process that takes students from sentence-level writing, to paragraph structuring, to research paper section writing, to a complete research paper. Synergy also represents the synthesis of your ideas as you are embarking upon a research project. This is an effect that can be brought about through collaboration as you discuss your ideas with both your instructor and classmates through a process of inquiry-based learning. Finally, synergy is a concept that applies to scientific writing, which is delineated by its clear and straightforward prose style, adherence to systematic design and methodology, and analysis of data-driven results.

This textbook will outline the key components and core skills required to write a scientific research paper. By the end of this textbook, students will have a solid understanding of the essentials of scientific research writing.
