摘要

随着留学生和英语教学(EMI)课程的增加,日本大学需要调整其课程以满足这些学生的需求。其中一个经常被忽视的领域就是英语学术写作。本文讨论了一项行动研究,该研究探讨了在东京一所大型私立大学的 EMI 项目中为英语学生提供正式学术写作支持所面临的挑战。该研究采用了参与式行动研究方法(Burns,2009 年)。该研究试图考察这些学生在学术写作的哪些方面最自信,哪些方面最不自信,学生们认为写作课程的哪些方面对他们准备进一步的学术写作最有用,以及 EMI 课程如何帮助学生克服这些挑战。数据来源于多选和开放式问卷以及焦点小组访谈。最后,将从行政管理的角度以及教师和学生的角度,就如何在 EMI 环境下创建和实施成功的学术写作课程提出建议。

Academic writing in English: Lessons from an EMI-program in Japan

As international students and English-medium Instruction (EMI) programs increase, Japanese universities need to adapt their programs to fulfill the needs of these students. One often overlooked area is academic writing in English. This paper discusses an action research study examining the challenges of providing formal academic writing support for English-speaking students in an EMI-program at one large private university in Tokyo. The study utilizes a participatory action research approach (Burns, 2009). The study attempted to examine what aspects of academic writing are these students most confident and most insecure about, and what aspects of the writing course did the students feel are most useful for them in preparing them for further academic writing, and how this EMI program can help students overcome these challenges. The data comes from a multiple choice and open answer questionnaire as well as focus group interviews. Suggestions on how to create and implement successful academic writing courses in an EMI context, based on the lessons learned from this course from the administrative point-of-view as well as both from faculty and students’ perspectives will be provided to conclude.
