Abstract:

This book provides critical perspectives on issues relating to writing norms
and assessment, as well as writing proficiency development, and suggests that
scholars need to both carefully examine testing regimes and develop
research-informed perspectives on tests and testing practices. In this way
schools, institutions of adult education and universities can better prepare
learners with differing cultural experiences to meet the challenges. The book
brings together empirical studies from diverse geographical contexts to
address the crossing of literacy borders, with a focus on academic genres and
practices. Most of the studies examine writing in countries where the norms
and expectations are different, but some focus on writing in a new discourse
community set in a new discipline. The chapters shed light on commonalities
and differences between these two situations with respect to the expectations
and evaluations facing the writers. They also consider the extent to which the
norms that the writers bring with them from their educational backgrounds and
own cultures are compromised in order to succeed in the new educational
settings.
