Constructing academic essays, dissertations and research articles in this second or foreign language is even more challenging, yet across the globe thousands of academics and students do so, some out of choice, some out of necessity. This book looks at a major issue within the field of English for Academic Purposes (EAP). It focuses on the issues confronting non-native-English-speaking academics, scholars and students, who face increasing pressure to write and publish in English, now widely acknowledged as the academic lingua franca. Questions of identity, access, pedagogy and empowerment naturally arise. This book looks at both student and professional academic writers, using qualitative text analysis, quantitative questionnaire data, corpus investigations and ethnographic approaches to searchingly examine issues central to the EAP field. 606 $aEnglish language$xRhetoric$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers 606 $2Language acquisition 606 $aAcademic writing$xStudy and teaching 606 $aSecond language acquisition 615 0$aEnglish language$xRhetoric$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers. 615 0$aAcademic writing$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aSecond language acquisition. 676 $a808/.0428071 702 $aTang$b Ramona 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790447703321 996 $aAcademic writing in a second or foreign language$93709333 997 $aUNINA
