This book explores specific issues related to academic writing
provision in the post-communist countries in Eastern, Central and
Southern Europe. Although they have different cultures and writing
traditions, these countries share common features in what regards
the development of higher education and research and encounter
challenges different from Western European countries. Since
academic writing as a discipline is relatively new in Eastern
Europe, but currently plays an essential part in the development of
higher education and the process of European integration, the
volume aims to open discussion on academic writing in the region by
addressing several issues such as the specific challenges in
providing academic writing support at tertiary level in
post-communist countries, the limitations and possibilities in
implementing Western models of academic writing provision, or the
complex interactions between writing in national languages and
writing in a second language. Additionally, the book presents
several recent initiatives and possible models for providing
academic writing support in universities in the area. The important
role of academic writing in English, a common feature in
post-communist countries, is reflected in the sections which focus
on writing in English as a foreign language, as well as on the
impact of English upon national languages. The volume will be of
interest to academic writing researchers and teachers and those
involved in teaching academic writing at the tertiary level.
