Research text written by Japanese students, faculty, and corporate researchers in a wide range of scientific and technical fields was obtained in draft or final form for analysis, along with input from research writing instructors and editors working in Japan, to discover persistent language problems and describe them for educational purposes. The problems identified were also compared with those commonly covered in writing handbook designed for native or normative speakers to evaluate the suitability of popular texts to address these problems. Results from the study provide useful and reliable information, for Japanese writers as well as for teachers and editors of Japanese writers, which greatly clarifies significant gaps in writer knowledge that will likely need to be addressed at advanced levels of English research writing instruction specifically tailored for Japanese researchers.","PeriodicalId":202491,"journal":{"name":"International Professional Communication Conference, 2004.

Stone age artists were painting them on the walls of their caves as long as 20,000 years ago. Nor is the use of images as coding elements in formal orthographic systems anything new - that dates back at least 5,000 years. The push to \"internationalize\" communications media and the relatively recent development of graphic user interfaces, however, has spawned, it seems, a mad rush to abandon more highly evolved and sound-based orthographies in favor of image-based writing systems, or, in some instances, simply images. The article that follows examines the use of icons as visual labels, discusses their strengths and weaknesses, and suggest guidelines for their design and use.","PeriodicalId":202491,"journal":{"name":"International Professional Communication Conference, 2004.

We suggest that such elements are often ignored even in the upper-level courses students take, most often due to the real pressures we feel to teach students more technical skill sets associated with our own given disciplines. Yet, we argue the importance of explicitly teaching mindsets open to \"soft skills\" along with or as part of these more specialized skill sets. We highlight issues that have continued to surface as we have attempted to do just that. In addition, we share some of the less and more successful strategies we have adopted over a five-year collaboration for fostering mindsets that are often so much more a challenge to teach or to adopt.","PeriodicalId":202491,"journal":{"name":"International Professional Communication Conference, 2004.

This work reports on the type, amount, and accuracy of advice given on 30 IRB Web sites. Our findings suggest that this advice, while well-intended, is often weak or uneven in one or more of these areas. This study provides insight into the assumptions that one type of bureaucratic body holds about how to construct readable prose and into how it communicates those assumptions to subject-matter experts. It also demonstrates one mechanism through which (sometimes faulty) assumptions about writing are perpetuated and legitimatized.","PeriodicalId":202491,"journal":{"name":"International Professional Communication Conference, 2004.

The author calls for a focus on users' mental models when designing interfaces for electronically mediated communication and argue that simply designing for common ground without considering a user's understanding of such common ground is limiting. The author also argues that new and interesting communication devices could emerge if we consider that for all mental representations of data, even data in the minds of speakers in real-time conversations, there exists a theoretical device space that would model and therefore assist with the manipulation of such data. Common ground informs not generally considered possible might emerge if we find ways to put such device spaces into practice.","PeriodicalId":202491,"journal":{"name":"International Professional Communication Conference, 2004.
