E-LiTe is a course-overarching online resource designed to support students in the development of the key skills and competencies in academic research and writing needed for independent scientific work in linguistics. In particular, the handling of various sources and data, their analysis and evaluation using standard linguistic methodology, and the correct use of linguistic terminology in the writing of term papers are key competencies in this area of scientific work, which E-LiTe aims to promote. As a supplemental offering to module Ling2 (Areas and Approaches), the project primarily aims at supporting students in writing their first academic papers in the field of linguistics. Beyond that, however, E-LiTe is also intended to serve as a resource for students at all stages of their studies experiencing individual uncertainties when it comes to academic practice, such as finding a suitable topic, conducting linguistic analyses, the appropriate use of academic language and adhering to the correct citation conventions.
