Abstract:

Academic literacy used to be considered a complex set of skills that develop
automatically as a by-product of academic socialization. Since the Bologna
Reform with its shorter degree programmes, however, it has been realized that
these skills need to be fostered actively. Simultaneously, writing skills
development at all levels of education has been faced with the challenge of
increasingly multilingual and multicultural groups of pupils and students.
This book addresses the questions of how both academic and professional
writing skills can be fostered under these conditions and how the development
of writing skills can be measured.

Contents: Christine S. Sing: Writing for specific purposes: Developing
business students’ ability to «technicalize» – Hans Malmström/Diane
Pecorari/Magnus Gustafsson: Coverage and development of academic vocabulary in
assessment texts in English Medium Instruction – Liana Konstantinidou/Joachim

writing competences and their development after one semester of instruction –
Sandra Ballweg: Portfolios as a means of developing and assessing writing
skills – Sabine Dengscherz/Melanie Steindl: «Prepare an outline first and then
just write spontaneously» - An analysis of students’ writing strategies and
their attitudes towards professional writing.

which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal

procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.
