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.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmItem Width: 14mmItem Weight: 438gContributor: Anne Golden (Edited by), Lars Anders Kulbrandstad (Edited by), Lawrence Jun Zhang (Edited by)Genre: Language & ReferenceTopic: Society & Culture, Children's Learning & EducationBook Series: New Perspectives on Language and EducationAuthor: Anne GoldenRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
