In this way schools, institutions of adult education and universities can better prepare learners with differing cultural experiences to meet the challenges. The book brings together empirical studies from diverse geographical contexts to address the crossing of literacy borders, with a focus on academic genres and practices. Most of the studies examine writing in countries where the norms and expectations are different, but some focus on writing in a new discourse community set in a new discipline. The chapters shed light on commonalities and differences between these two situations with respect to the expectations and evaluations facing the writers. They also consider the extent to which the norms that the writers bring with them from their educational backgrounds and own cultures are compromised in order to succeed in the new educational settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnne Golden is an Emeritus Professor of Second Language Acquisition at MultiLing, the University of Oslo, Norway.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLars Anders Kulbrandstad is an Emeritus Professor of Norwegian at Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences and a Senior Professor of Swedish as a Second Language at Karlstad University, Sweden.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLawrence Jun Zhang is Professor of Applied Linguistics at the Faculty of Education and Social Work, University of Auckland, New Zealand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 166\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 14, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45682507317445,"sku":"9781788928557","price":88.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/7loLJ4Xiqb9781788928557.webp?v=1783639887","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/crossing-borders-writing-texts-being-evaluated-cultural-and-disciplinary-norms-in-academic-writing-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
