Abstract | This contribution discusses problems of students' academic writing in Africa. It sketches the wide field of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and argues that reference, coherence and complexity are key concepts for evaluating student writing at university level. It uses material from African corpora to substantiate this claim and to illustrate how authentic language samples can be used in teaching to improve students' academic writing. (Contains 4 tables and 10 texts.) (As Provided). |
