Orality, Oral-Based Culture, and the Academic Writing of ESL Learners.

Rubin, Donald L.; And Others

Issues in Applied Linguistics, v1 n1 p56-76 Jun 1990

English-as-a-Second-Language learners are not always aware of the interference of native culture rhetorical patterns in writing Western academic exposition. Ways to integrate many of those patterns into the discourse norms of academic writing, even when the patterns are oral-based, are described. (55 references) (Author/LB)
