@article{oai:icu.repo.nii.ac.jp:00004968, author = {Kershaw, Matthew and Miyahara, Masuko}, journal = {語学研究}, month = {Jan}, note = {This paper is a status report of academic writing courses offered by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, International Christian University in Tokyo. These writing courses are taught by academic staff from the English for Liberal Arts Program to overseas graduate students whose first language is not English. These graduate students are often faced with two intertwining issues: they need to engage in designing and conducting their research, but they also have to write up their research project in English. The aim of this paper is to present the status of the writing courses by providing a descriptive account of the current program over the past five years in particular, and to follow the trajectory of how the courses have evolved and continue to develop in order to meet the needs of the graduate students from non-English speaking backgrounds. It concludes by presenting an outline of the newly restructured curriculum of this program that will come into effect from April 2021 as well as to outline some of the concerns and suggestions for further considerations.}, pages = {33--40}, title = {Report on the ELA Writing Courses for Graduate School Students (2015- 2020): The Past, Present, and Directions for the Future}, volume = {35}, year = {2020} }
