Journal articles are one of the main forms of academic source that you’ll encounter during your studies. This workshop will introduce you to advanced search techniques and show you how to find high-quality journal articles, using both the Library Portal and academic databases.

I've spent the last 5 years teaching English in Tokyo, where I studied Japanese, gaining an understanding of the challenges and rewards of learning a second language. I've also taught in Spain and Italy and completed a master's degree. I look forward to helping you achieve your academic goals and supporting your acquisition of academic language!
My background is in English Language, Forensic Linguistics and Translation studies. I specialise Academic Skills such as paraphrasing, creating essay outlines, grammar and vocabulary. Having an MA in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages alongside being fluent in both English and Urdu, I can understand the possible challenges students experience in translating and writing at university level.
