The following is a summary of each workshop to provide more detailed information:

• Workshop 1: The speech of citations and references in research papers.
  Teachers: Rebecca Beke and Elba Bruno Castelli
  
  

The attribution of knowledge to others through the use of citations and references is a feature that distinguishes the genre of research article from other academic genres (Hyland, 2005, Swales, 1990). In this workshop we focus on the way researchers use quotations and references to report what they have said or done by other authors to establish the differences and similarities between disciplines and interpreted. To do this, we will analyze a variety of texts taken as a starting point of the analysis categories established by Beke (2007). Participants are expected to be aware of the different options that are presented to the writers at the time of writing and the implications these may have on the interaction with readers.

• Workshop 2: Patterns text. Cohesion and coherence in writing.
  Teachers: Adriana Bolivar Cristina D'Avolio

One of the most difficult problems in academic writing is to learn to identify and use the linguistic signals that indicate the consistency in the text. This workshop will address two aspects of the problem. First, the signals that give cohesion to the text texture or global significance, and that let you clear the message. Second, the signs most frequent text patterns such as General - Specific, Location - Assessment, Evaluation - Base for evaluation, and other signals that help to organize the speech. The goal is that by the end of the workshop, participants have linguistic awareness about the signs that give texts their shape and get tools to produce texts with greater security.

• Workshop 3: Use and management of the verbs in the investigation.
  Teachers: Bolet and Yosely Francisco Briceño

The objective of this workshop is to provide participants theoretical and practical tools that enable them to understand how meanings are constructed in terms of experience and interpersonal relationships in the discourse of research. To do this we will revise the rhetorical functions and modal verbs in research texts of two disciplines. The first session will review the text with the grammar of transitivity (the level of experience). In the second session of textual analysis will be done with the grammar of the mode (the level of interpersonal relationships).

• Workshop 4: The fallacies of argument in the written text.
  Teachers: Frances Erlich and Giovanna Caimi

The objective of this workshop is to implement knowledge that allows both to recognize and build well-founded reasoning in a written text of academic, such as specific research paper. It is assumed that this text originates in a research problem and a statement, opinion or argument. This should be supported with the development of various types of arguments that must meet certain criteria to be reliable. Fallacies occur when these criteria are not met. In the first workshop session will address the main causes of unnecessary arguments. In the second session will address common fallacies in detail in written texts of research. Both sessions will be practical exercises application.
