Chinese students are the largest international student group in UK
universities today, yet little is known about their undergraduate
writing and the challenges they face. Drawing on the British
Academic Written English corpus - a large corpus of proficient
undergraduate student writing collected in the UK in the early
2000s - this study explores Chinese students' written assignments
in English in a range of university disciplines, contrasting these
with assignments from British students. The study is supplemented
by questionnaire and interview datasets with discipline lecturers,
writing tutors and students, and provides a comprehensive picture
of the Chinese student writer today. Theoretically framed through
work within academic literacies and lexical priming, the author
seeks to explore what we know about Chinese students' writing and
to extend these findings to undergraduate writing more generally.
In a globalized educational environment, it is important for
educators to understand differences in writing styles across the
student body, and to move from the widespread deficit model of
student writing towards a descriptive model which embraces
different ways of achieving success. Chinese Students' Writing in
English will be of value to researchers, EAP tutors, and university
lecturers teaching Chinese students in the UK, China, and other
English or Chinese-speaking countries.
