<span style="color:#252A2F">This seminar series focuses on metadiscourse and metalinguistic understanding for writing. Methodologically, metadiscourse tends to be explored through corpus studies, whilst metalinguistic understanding is researched through qualitative
methods, reflecting the fact that metadiscourse has a textual focus, whilst metalinguistic understanding for writing has a writer focus. This seminar series will bring together international researchers in these two fields to explore the synergies between
these two and establish more helpful ways to advance both future research and pedagogical practice with a more coherent model of their inter-relationship. In the seminars, we will explore both theoretical research issues around metalinguistic understanding
and metadiscourse and also the pedagogical implications of this. We hope the seminar series will identify fruitful further lines of research inquiry, and the powerful potential impact on the teaching and learning of writing by bringing together both textual
practices and writer understanding.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="color:#252A2F">The three seminars should be of interest not only to researchers specifically looking at metadiscourse or metalinguistic understanding, but also more broadly to anyone interested in research in writing and its implications for learning
and teaching.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
