Abstract
This article examines some aspects of the relationship between the ownership
of English language and its production by non-native speaker creative writers.
It discusses ways in which novice creative writers may strive to control their production
of text in English, without the scaffolding and structures that conventional �academic
writing� may both offer and impose. The article also discusses the relationship between
the students attempts to control and own the English language, and the ways in which
the academic assesses their writing; both in terms of their creativity and their control
期刊介绍:
PORTA LINGUARUM is an international and interuniversity journal that specialises in foreign language didactics. Its aims to publish empirical studies, critical revisions, and theoretical models that relate to the many factors that influence the FL teaching and learning:
- The social and school context: the family’s social and cultural influence as well as the student’s mother language and its influence on the L2 learning process, etc.
- The students: their personal characteristics (age, gender, personality traits, etc.) as well as their attitudes, motivation, cognitive styles, etc.
- The FL teacher: the teacher’s mental representations, attitudes, motivation, individual characteristics, teaching methods, etc.
- Learning conditions and the learning process, variables that influence the teaching and learning processes in the classroom: efficiency of teaching strategies, teaching methods and techniques, second language acquisition processes, students and teachers interaction, effect of teaching resources and materials, etc.
- Learning outcomes: evaluation of procedures as well as the evaluation of the students’ communicative competence at different academic levels, etc.
