N2 - Academic writing for postgraduate studies (Ph.D.) students is often a neglected category of language teaching at university level. We would like to offer an insight into the organization of our new courses which train students from various academic backgrounds in writing skills. We will illustrate how the typical features of high quality academic writing suitable for the particular fields of study are discussed and practised with the help of modern technologies, how students engage in publishing and reacting in the subject forum, take part in videoconferences with experts from other countries and discuss their writing styles with teachers on-line. We argue that this helps the whole class not only to focus discussions and maintain their continuality but also to view the problems of academic writing from the perspective of various academic cultures, thus practising, besides academic writing as the core subject, also other soft skills in English. The presentation of the course syllabus, organization and materials will be amended by practical examples of how modern technologies in courses of academic writing for Ph.D. students work.
