Meeting Description:

Novice scholars usually experience more or less severe problems in the process
of acquiring writing expertise. This observation holds both for foreign or
second language speakers as well as for native speakers: If the latter have
not yet acquired any proficiency in academic L1-writing, e.g. with regard to
academic citation practices, they will usually not be able to use such
practices in L2-texts, either (cf. Borg 2000, Petric 2012). Moreover,
non-native speakers, in particular, but also novice scholars, in general, seem
to have more difficulties with applying general academic phrases such as ''to
showcase some-thing“ or ''to draw attention to“ than with technical terms for
specific purposes (cf. Graefen 2004: 300ff., Wallner 2014: 74ff.). This
outcome may bear on the teaching habit of providing detailed explanations on
specific terms, whereas the knowledge of the manifold constraints concerning
the proper use of formulaic routines is taken for granted (Meißner & Wallner
2019: 457, Ehlich 1999: 8f.). 
Against this background, the workshop will be conceived as an open forum for
talks on contrastive language studies focusing on different text types in
higher education settings (e.g. term papers, research reports, protocols). The
text procedures (Feilke 2017) at issue may be investigated in relation to the
language register (e.g. language for specific purposes vs. general academic
language use) and/or by taking account of multilingual conditions. In
addition, all kinds of contributions are welcome that highlight intra- or
interlingual evaluations of enhancement measures with regard to academic
L1,n-text procedures (cf. Choi 2016, Lehnen 2012, Steinseifer 2014).
