Disseminating Research in Prestigious International Conferences and Q1 SSCI Journal Articles: How to Do High-Quality Academic Work ? Four Connected Sessions
The following sessions will be offered through Zoom, and materials will be shared during the class. To participate, you will need:
1. Access to an internet-connected device with a full-sized keyboard for fast typing.
2. A webcam and microphone (to preserve the feeling of a real class). It is very hard to teach a group of blank screens. This also limits opportunities to learn from others’ expertise.
The sessions will be led by Dr James Wood. James has a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) (Qualified Teacher Status in the UK), a diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (DELTA), an MA in TESOL (distinction) and a Doctorate in Education from the UCL Institute of Education and is an active early career researcher and teacher with over 20 years teaching experience. He has presented at over 14 international academic conferences in the last few years and has published in the 3rd highest ranked Higher Education Journal in the world. He is also a peer reviewer for Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education (3rd in Higher Education) Computers and Education (top 10 in Education), and Higher Education Research and Development (Q1).

○ Lecturer: James Wood (기초교육원 강의부교수)
This session will help students to understand and practice the skills necessary for your international audience to understand and pay attention to your message. So many presenters read from a script or a slide, and in these cases, many audience members withdraw their attention. This session will help you develop the skills to present academic work in a dynamic, exciting, and effective way that will help you impress and inspire your audience. The session will cover and offer practice in:
· The effective development and use of slides
· The general principles of engaging delivery
· How to be aware of audience needs
· How to use your voice effectively: Pause, stress, intonation and breathing
· How to use body language, eye contact & facial expressions (data from UCL)
