Chinese students are the largest international student group in UK
universities today, yet little is known about their undergraduate
writing and the challenges faced. Drawing on the British Academic
Written English corpus - a large corpus of undergraduate student
writing collected in the UK in the early 2000s - this book explores
Chinese students' written assignments in English, contrasting these
with assignments from British students in a range of university
disciplines. The corpus is supplemented by questionnaire feedback,
semi-structured and text-based interviews and observational
material from classrooms in the China and UK, all of which build
towards a comprehensive picture of the Chinese student writer in
the UK today. The book is theoretically framed through work within
academic literacies, lexical priming and formulaic language to
provide a fresh perspective on student writing in the twenty-first
century.The author seeks to explore Chinese students' writing and
to use these findings to inform pedagogical recommendations for
Higher Education teachers in general and teachers of Chinese
students in particular, arguing that in a globalized educational
environment it is important for educators to understand differences
in writing styles across the student body. This book will be
primarily of interest to researchers, EAP tutors and university
lecturers teaching Chinese students in the UK, China, and other
English or Chinese-speaking countries.
