Teaching English for Academic Purposes - APPL942
This unit will provide you with an understanding of the features of academic discourse, focusing on the genres used by different disciplinary communities, and the way these communities use the lexico-grammatical resources of academic English to achieve their purposes. We examine the identities projected by academics in their writing, and the ways in which student writers develop their understanding of and ability to project appropriate identities. This understanding provides the basis for consideration of approaches to needs analysis, course and materials development and assessment. The problems faced by both native and non-native speakers of English will be explored. Students will have the opportunity to follow their own interests in their selection of assignments.
