Int-Eval will bring together
scholars and students from
around the world to discuss
evaluative language.

7. That is to say,
how we
express our
opinions on
something
when talking
or writing
about it

the musicians they’re
And how they talk up
writing about

Attending the conference
will give me the opportunity
to network with like-
minded people

for employment following my
doctorate.
