Writing Statements of Purpose (SoP) is a challenging task for students applying for English-speaking graduate schools, as they need to demonstrate their competence as junior members of the research community and satisfy the requirements of admission officers. Previous studies have focused primarily on the SoPs written by US applicants or the perspectives of admission officers. This study investigates how Chinese students wrote and revised their SoPs for US Ph.D. programs through an action research project which offered feedback on their earlier drafts. Through participatory genre analysis of a small corpus of both earlier and final versions of SoPs by 20 Chinese applicants admitted to US graduate schools, it is found that, after revising their SoPs, the applicants tended to enact their researcher identities by removing certain moves and steps that were less relevant to the rhetorical purposes and adopting the moves and steps usually found in research articles. A framework for writing SoPs based on the results of a genre analysis of a small corpus of the successful SoPs is developed to help future applicants and their language teachers.
对于申请英语研究生院的学生来说,写目的陈述(SoP)是一项具有挑战性的任务,因为他们需要证明自己作为研究社区初级成员的能力,并满足招生官的要求。以前的研究主要集中在美国申请人写的标准操作程序或招生官员的观点上。本研究通过一个行动研究项目,调查中国学生如何撰写和修改美国博士项目的sop,并对他们早期的草稿提供反馈。通过对20名被美国研究生院录取的中国申请人的标准操作程序早期和最终版本的小语料库的参与式体裁分析,我们发现,在修改他们的标准操作程序后,申请人倾向于通过删除与修辞目的不太相关的某些动作和步骤,并采用通常在研究文章中发现的动作和步骤来实现他们的研究者身份。基于对一小部分成功的标准程序语料库的体裁分析结果,我们开发了一个标准程序写作框架,以帮助未来的申请人和他们的语言教师。

The Pecha Kucha talk is an effective way to encourage the composition process; to promote the use of effective visuals to explain and engage; and to distribute the expertise in the classroom away from the teacher as the central expert and to the students. In this paper, we describe and give an example of what is called a Pecha Kucha (Japanese for ‘chit chat’). When examined within the frameworks of theorists in the areas of composition, pedagogy, and literacy, this emerging presentation genre is promising for both composer and audience. With this in mind, we first discuss ways that the creator of the Pecha Kucha may benefit from the specific composition space. We then share how this composition exercise is an effective teaching tool. Next, we show ways that this presentation style maximizes learning with image and speech coordination and skills of analysis and synthesis. Then we introduce how Pecha Kuchas give students the opportunity to teach and to work with technological tools in authentic ways. Finally, implications for future practice in developing compositions using oral delivery with visuals are discussed.
Pecha Kucha谈话是鼓励作文过程的有效方法;促进使用有效的视觉效果来解释和参与;将专业知识从作为中心专家的老师分配到学生身上。在本文中,我们描述并给出了一个被称为Pecha Kucha(日语中的“闲聊”)的例子。当在作曲,教育学和识字领域的理论家框架内进行检查时,这种新兴的呈现类型对作曲家和观众都有希望。考虑到这一点,我们首先讨论Pecha Kucha的创建者可以从特定的组合空间中受益的方法。然后我们分享这个作文练习是一个有效的教学工具。接下来,我们将展示这种演讲风格如何最大限度地利用图像和语音协调以及分析和综合技能来学习。然后我们介绍Pecha Kuchas如何让学生有机会以真实的方式教学和使用技术工具。最后,讨论了未来使用视觉口头表达的写作实践的意义。

Given the growing number of international teaching assistants (ITAs) on US campuses, ITAs have become critical members of US academic communities. Research related to ITAs’ experiences in US classrooms reveals certain challenges that ITAs encounter as instructors in this new educational context. These challenges can be instructional, social, linguistic, or cultural in nature. In response to the need to provide incoming ITAs with both ongoing institutional and personal support, this pilot action research study investigates the impact of the use of reflective dialogic blogs on the ITAs in terms of their development of teaching expertise, cross-cultural awareness, and language skills at the completion of the ITA training course offered at a southwestern US university. The study involved a group of ITAs in online interactions via blogs with the ITA-training course instructor for the duration of one academic semester. Data collection focused on the content of the ITAs’ writing and their perceptions of the effectiveness of reflective dialogic blogs in regard to their development as instructors. The results suggest that more attempts to use tools such as reflective dialogic blogs should be made in the future. The article also suggests possible modifications for the use of reflective dialogic blogs with prospective students.
鉴于美国校园中国际助教(ita)的数量不断增加,ita已成为美国学术界的重要成员。与ita在美国课堂的经验相关的研究揭示了ita作为教师在这种新的教育环境中遇到的某些挑战。这些挑战可以是教学的、社会的、语言的或文化的。为了回应向新入职的ITA提供持续的机构和个人支持的需求,本试点行动研究调查了在美国西南部一所大学提供的ITA培训课程完成后,使用反思性对话博客对ITA的教学专业知识、跨文化意识和语言技能发展的影响。该研究涉及一组ita通过博客与ita培训课程讲师进行在线互动,持续一个学期。数据收集的重点是ita的写作内容和他们对反思性对话博客在他们作为讲师的发展方面的有效性的看法。结果表明,未来应该更多地尝试使用反思对话博客等工具。这篇文章还提出了与未来学生使用反思性对话博客的可能修改。

L1 and L2 adolescents’ perspectives on writing within and across academic disciplines: Examining the role of agency in writing development L1和L2青少年在学科内部和跨学科的写作观点:考察代理在写作发展中的作用
IF 0.3 Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2016-08-11 DOI: 10.1558/WAP.28750
Jill V. Jeffery, K. Wilcox
To investigate a diverse sample of adolescent writers’ experiences with disciplinary writing, this study compared 66 adolescents’ perceptions of writing through an analysis of interviews as part of a national study. Grounded in a social constructivist framework that stresses the role of agency in the development of writing competence, the study aims to examine factors – including language background and prior writing experiences – that are associated with adolescents’ perceptions of their writing development. The study asked: How do L1 and L2 adolescents’ perceptions of writing development compare? To what extent, if at all, is agency implicated in patterns of variation? Results of the comparative analysis suggest that varying affordances and constraints, and combinations of these, relate to adolescents’ expressed agency toward writing. Affordances include opportunities to select personally relevant subjects and to develop writing through feedback and revision processes; constraints include the use of highly structured writing scaffolds, formulas, and tightly constrained topics. Implications for differentiated scaffolding of writing instruction that might affectively and cognitively engage diverse adolescent learners are discussed.
为了调查青少年作家在学科写作方面的不同经历,本研究通过对一项全国性研究的访谈分析,比较了66名青少年对写作的看法。该研究立足于强调能动性在写作能力发展中的作用的社会建构主义框架,旨在研究与青少年对自己写作发展的认知相关的因素——包括语言背景和先前的写作经历。该研究的问题是:母语和第二语言青少年对写作发展的感知如何比较?在多大程度上,如果有的话,能动性与变异模式有牵连?比较分析的结果表明,不同的支持和约束以及它们的组合与青少年对写作的表达代理有关。支持包括选择个人相关主题的机会,并通过反馈和修订过程发展写作;约束包括使用高度结构化的写作框架、公式和严格约束的主题。本文讨论了不同青少年学习者在情感和认知上参与写作教学的差异框架的含义。

Agency, identity and ideology in L2 writing: Insights from the EAP classroom 第二语言写作中的代理、身份和意识形态:来自EAP课堂的见解
IF 0.3 Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2016-08-11 DOI: 10.1558/WAP.26864
S. Bhowmik
This study reports on how agency, identity and ideology played out in an L2 writing classroom. It investigated 31 L2 writers’ agency, identity and ideology as they accomplished their writing assignments in a required first-year composition class at a large North American university. The data for the study were collected from four different sources: (a) interviews with each participant; (b) process logs kept by each participant for the entire duration of the assignment; (c) class materials; and (d) classroom observation notes. Findings suggest that L2 writers’ portrayal of selves is not static and that it evolves during the course of the writing assignment. L2 writers’ agency leads them to use various writing strategies; perceive different writing activities to be difficult or easy; and adopt various lived experiences in composing. Their identity and ideology, on the other hand, help writers align with the writing tasks; influence their task perceptions; and mediate writing choices that are both rewarding and self-incriminating. Various implications for pedagogy and research are discussed.
本研究报告了代理、身份和意识形态如何在二语写作课堂中发挥作用。该研究调查了31位第二语言作家的代理、身份和意识形态,他们在北美一所大型大学的一年级必修的作文课上完成了写作任务。该研究的数据收集自四个不同的来源:(a)与每个参与者的访谈;(b)每个参与者在整个任务期间保存的过程日志;(c)等级材料;(d)课堂观察笔记。研究结果表明,二语写作者对自我的描述不是静态的,而是在写作任务的过程中不断发展的。第二语言写作者的代理作用导致他们使用多种写作策略;感知不同的写作活动的难易程度;并将各种生活经历融于创作之中。另一方面,他们的身份和意识形态帮助作家与写作任务保持一致;影响他们的任务感知;并调解写作选择既有益又自证其罪。讨论了对教育学和研究的各种影响。

A 3-D Approach to Discovering and Creating the Features of Written Texts 发现和创造书面文本特征的三维方法
IF 0.3 Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2016-08-02 DOI: 10.1558/wap.v8i1.29525
Martha C. Pennington
This article outlines a student-centered, ‘hands-on’ approach to the teaching of writing at university level through first discovering and then creating the features of written texts in three dimensions: microtextual (lexico-grammar), macrotextual (rhetoric), and extratextual (context). The ‘3-D’ approach has been designed for novice writers, offering a practical, step-by-step procedure to prepare them to write in specific disciplines and for specific purposes. Though usable with other audiences, the sample material included here is especially appropriate for second-language writers and will be of particular interest to students of science. While the approach is consistent with Systemic-Functional and ESP orientations to text, as contrasted with most ESP pedagogy – especially that geared to students in sciences – the 3-D approach gives particular attention to affect, writer–reader interaction, and shared context. The approach, which starts from analysis of texts and then moves to writing of texts, is first described and then illustrated using several short popular science texts about insects and birds. These texts exemplify lexico-grammatical and rhetorical features of scientific texts while also illustrating other purposes which a writer may seek to fulfill as well as the underlying assumptions and author biases that might exist even in texts which appear to be purely descriptive or ‘objective’. The texts and analyses provided are intended for classroom use to train students in the approach, supplemented by a step by step guide for students to follow. Through the activities provided for the sample texts, students develop awareness of the properties of texts and how these can be discovered through analysis and then written into their own texts.
本文概述了一种以学生为中心、“动手”的大学写作教学方法,通过首先发现并创造三个维度的书面文本特征:微观文本(词汇语法)、宏观文本(修辞)和文本外(语境)。“3-D”方法是为新手作家设计的,提供了一个实用的、循序渐进的过程,让他们准备在特定的学科和特定的目的下写作。虽然其他读者也可以使用,但这里包含的样本材料特别适合第二语言作家,科学学生也会特别感兴趣。虽然这种方法与系统功能和ESP对文本的导向一致,但与大多数ESP教学法(尤其是面向理科学生的ESP教学法)相比,3d方法特别关注情感、作者-读者互动和共享情境。这种方法从文本分析开始,然后转向文本写作,首先进行了描述,然后用几篇关于昆虫和鸟类的科普短文进行了说明。这些文本举例说明了科学文本的词汇语法和修辞特征,同时也说明了作者可能寻求实现的其他目的,以及潜在的假设和作者偏见,这些假设和偏见甚至可能存在于看似纯粹描述性或“客观”的文本中。所提供的文本和分析是为课堂使用,以训练学生的方法,辅以一步一步的指导,让学生遵循。通过为样本文本提供的活动,学生培养对文本属性的认识,以及如何通过分析发现这些属性,然后将其写进自己的文本中。

Research has explored how scholars use citations to write intertextually across disciplines but have rarely compared how students, especially undergraduates, appropriate source texts in their writing in arts versus sciences. This study explores textual appropriation and source use in disciplinary writing of second language undergraduates in a North American university. Two samples of undergraduate writing were analyzed. One is a biology paper written by Cary to summarize a scientific concept or statement, and the other is an essay in Film Studies written by Martin on a topic of his own choosing. Text-based interviews were conducted to solicit participants’ comments and explanations of how they used source texts in completing the two specific disciplinary writing tasks. Results suggest different citing behaviors between the two students in terms of the types of sources they used (textbooks, monographs, and non-reading sources), the format of textual borrowing (quoting versus paraphrasing), and reasons for citing and not citing (e.g., to use others’ words or ideas versus expressing one’s own ideas or knowledge). The paper ends with an example of an assignment designed to help students explore how to make citation decisions in disciplinary writing.
研究已经探讨了学者如何使用引文来跨学科写作,但很少比较学生,特别是本科生如何在文理科写作中适当地使用源文本。本研究探讨了北美一所大学第二语言本科生学科写作中的语篇挪用和来源使用。对两个大学生写作样本进行分析。一篇是凯里写的一篇生物学论文,用来总结一个科学概念或陈述,另一篇是马丁在《电影研究》上写的一篇文章,主题是他自己选择的。基于文本的访谈是为了征求参与者的评论和解释他们如何使用源文本来完成两个特定的学科写作任务。结果表明,两名学生的引用行为在他们使用的来源类型(教科书、专著和非阅读来源)、文本借用的格式(引用与意译)、引用与不引用的原因(例如,使用他人的词语或观点与表达自己的观点或知识)方面存在差异。本文以一个作业的例子结束,该作业旨在帮助学生探索如何在学科写作中做出引文决定。

The paper ends with an example of an assignment designed to help students explore how to make citation decisions in disciplinary writing.","PeriodicalId":42573,"journal":{"name":"Writing & Pedagogy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2016-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78159359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Writing retreats are an invaluable way of providing research students and early career researchers with opportunities for extended periods of time for their writing (MacLeod et al., 2012; Murray, 2013, 2014, 2015; Murray and Newtown, 2009; Murray et al., 2012; Petrova and Coughlin, 2012). This is important both for students who are under pressure for timely completion of their degrees and academic staff in the early stages of their careers who, once they have obtained an academic appointment, need to establish themselves in their fields as well as meet tenure track requirements that have been set by their employing institutions. This is as true for native speaking writers as it is for non-native speaking writers (Habibie, 2015), all of whom have to be able to write academically in English, the international language of research, and often face challenges in doing this. This paper discusses both the nature and benefits of writing retreats. It then provides an example of a writing retreat that focuses on writing for publication that has been on offer for the past four years at the University of Sydney, Australia. It describes how the retreat has evolved, how it is organized in its present form, and how participants have responded to the retreat. The paper concludes by arguing that writing retreats are a valuable opportunity for writing pedagogy, showing how both pedagogy and opportunities for extended writing can be brought together within the context of these retreats.
写作静修是为研究生和早期职业研究人员提供长时间写作机会的宝贵方式(MacLeod et al., 2012;Murray, 2013, 2014, 2015;Murray and Newtown, 2009;Murray et al., 2012;Petrova和Coughlin, 2012)。这对于那些面临及时完成学位的压力的学生和处于职业生涯早期的学术人员来说都很重要,因为他们一旦获得学术任命,就需要在自己的领域站稳脚跟,并满足用人单位设定的终身教职要求。对于母语作家和非母语作家来说都是如此(Habibie, 2015),所有人都必须能够用英语(国际研究语言)进行学术写作,并且在这样做时经常面临挑战。本文论述了静修写作的本质和益处。然后,它提供了一个写作静修的例子,专注于为出版而写作,这在澳大利亚悉尼大学(University of Sydney, Australia)已经提供了四年。它描述了静修是如何演变的,它是如何组织成现在的形式的,以及参与者对静修的反应。论文的结论是,写作静修是写作教学法的宝贵机会,展示了在这些静修的背景下,如何将教学法和扩展写作的机会结合在一起。
