ACADEMIC WRITING IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE - JULIA ...

With the rise of English as an academic lingua franca  the ability to produce academic texts in
English is quickly turning into a core skill also for students whose first language is not
English. Although this trend has increased the awareness of a need for specific writing
instruction  systematic improvements for a theory-informed teaching practice still require more
detailed knowledge of the current state of student academic writing. This contribution provides
such information by means of an extended genre analysis of student texts produced by non-native
speakers in the initial phase of their studies. While special emphasis is given to
introductions and conclusions as two genre-constituents that place high demands on the student
authors  more general theoretical issues are also explored. These relate to the use of
conventionalised language  from the macro-level of genre structures to the micro-level of
formulaic language.
