Third Space lab (TSL) invites you to attend the upcoming Brown Bag Lunch Research Talk by Dr. Tyler Carter (Language and Culture Center) on Approaches to Second Language Writing Across Contexts: Problems and Implications at noon on Friday April 16th, 2021 (China Standard Time).
Abstract: Second Language Writing (SLW) instruction includes a wide range of approaches, some complimentary, some at odds. From Process-genre to Academic Literacies, to EAP, to WAC/WID, when used widely across varied national and institutional contexts these approaches may take on lives of their own, accelerating subdisciplinarization and knowledge compartmentalization. This work-in-progress presentation considers Sino-joint venture universities and the wider context of Writing and Language Studies in a discussion of how these approaches relate to one another and the implication of these relationships for teachers and scholars.
Please RSVP by 5 pm China Standard Time Thursday April 15th :
