| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I have sought an art of science writing and how to teach a science writing skill, based on the assumption that science writing is a fundamental skill to practice science communication.
I gained some know-how about the effective teaching method through several workshops of science writing for graduate students and general citizen. At the time I emphasized the importance of recognizing who is the reader, using vernacular terms, interesting points of the theme. Then I have convinced that we can improve students’’ writing skill by advising some know-how to brash up their writing. The results and some information are published on the special web site.
