Matsuyama JALT:

Academic writing in English and Japanese: How do our students become multicompetent writers?

Date: Sunday, December 14th, 2008 Time: 2:15 PM - 4:20 PM

Speaker: Carol Rinnert, Hiroshima City University

Description:
The presenter will share recent findings from an on-going research project investigating the effects of overseas high school and university study on the development of Japanese EFL writers' academic writing in English and Japanese. The findings show that writers tend to transfer writing knowledge and text features across languages, which can lead to high writing quality in both languages.
