"Non-native Graduate Students’ Thesis/Dissertation Writing in Science: Self-reports by Students and Their Advisors from Two U.S. Institutions"
Author : Yu Ren Dong Abstract
This article reports results from a survey of 169 graduate students and their thesis/dissertation advisors at two U.S. southeastern institutions about thesis/dissertation writing in science. The article compares the article compilation and the traditional five-chapter thesis/dissertation, reveals non-native students’ lack of social networks and use of writing resources and their suggestions for an adequate and improved thesis/dissertation writing supervision, and examines the impact of language and cultural differences on non-native students’ thesis/dissertation writing. Findings indicate the need for teaching knowledge transformation skills in EAP classes, establishing helping networks, and a collaboration among disciplines on audience/genre/ discipline specific writing instruction.
