Cross-Cultural Strategies And The Use Of English In International Business Correspondence, Kulaporn Hiranburana Dec 1998

Cross-Cultural Strategies And The Use Of English In International Business Correspondence, Kulaporn Hiranburana

PASAA

An exploration of the nature of intercultural communication and the use of English in international business correspondence is the principal aim of this study. Different aspects of intercultural communication in a sample of business correspondence consisting of letters, faxes and telexes in English written by business communicators from varied cultural backgrounds are investigated. These aspects include the deviation of linguistic features and expressions, the rhetorical structure of moves and steps with their linguistic exponents, the exchange structure of interaction and negotiation strategies, the organisation of message or information, and theme and theme structure. The implications for teaching are suggested in …

Error Treatment Strategies Used By Ns And Nns Esl Writing Teachers, Ruja Pholsward Dec 1998

Error Treatment Strategies Used By Ns And Nns Esl Writing Teachers, Ruja Pholsward

PASAA

The paper reports on an exploratory study of error treatment strategies used by NS and NNS ESL writing teachers at four Thai universities. In the study, the researcher investigated two important issues for ESL writing teachers: (a) how and to what extent they should tackle errors in students' work, and (b) how they can make their error treatment strategies sufficient to facilitate students' self-correction while not disparaging the latter with heavy marking or editing. Empirical data was collected from 32 university writing teachers by means of interview and questionnaire2. The findings reveal teachers' attitudes toward errors—part of the learning process …

Is Cheewajit English Terminology?, Annabel Bhamani Kajornboon Dec 1998

Is Cheewajit English Terminology?, Annabel Bhamani Kajornboon

PASAA

The word 'cheewajit' is unfamiliar to many English language speaking people. As an ESL professor, a number of foreigners, as well as native speakers have asked me what this word means. Cheewajit has become a phenomenon such that one cannot be certain if cheewajit is a fad or faith. Hence, this paper will discuss some of the terminology used in the cheewajit philosophy to help clarify both to foreigners and Thais who would like a clearer understanding of these lexical items. Then they can decide for themselves if cheewajit is a fad or faith.

Assessment Of Language Proficiency, D. E. Ingram Dec 1998

Assessment Of Language Proficiency, D. E. Ingram

PASAA

Proficiency is the single most important concept in language teaching and learning. Whatever else one aspires to do in a second or foreign language learning programme, proficiency or the ability to use the language for some purpose is always an important, generally the most important, aim. Even where it is not considered the central focus of the course, as it may not be, for example, in a traditional literature course, it will determine the extent to which the other aims can be realised.

Reading Comprehension: An Active Engagement Or A Passive Experience?, Malinee Chandavimol

PASAA

As most teachers of English in Thailand will admit, Thai students all too often fail to comprehend English texts. How often have we heard them complain "This is too difficult!" This is a very real problem in a world where English is increasingly becoming a global language, a command of which is vital in virtually every field of human endeavour.

Literature In Language Classroom: An Overview, Punchalee Wasanasomsithi Dec 1998

Literature In Language Classroom: An Overview, Punchalee Wasanasomsithi

PASAA

There is an on-going concern among researchers and educators in both the ESL and EFL programs regarding how to balance a focus on form or linguistic properties with a focus on meaning or communication in the target language. A focus on form and a focus on meaning are not a dichotomy. Instead, based on a review of existing research literature and teaching experience, what seems to work best is an integrated teaching approach in which the development of language learners' grammatical knowledge and communicative competence are equally supported.

Nothing Left To Lose: Of, Changes In Literary Editing And The Decline Of Civilization As We Know It, Joel Myerson Dec 1998

Nothing Left To Lose: Of, Changes In Literary Editing And The Decline Of Civilization As We Know It, Joel Myerson

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

My title is somewhat facetious, but not completely. There has been a profound shift in the direction and underlying assumptions of editorial theory and practice during the thirty years in which I have been practicing this craft, and my purpose here is to make some general observations on this topic. I start with a warning, though: most of my comments apply to textual or literary editing, not to documentary editing as it is practiced by literary editors.

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

In a paper presented at the 1998 annual meeting of the Association for Documentary Editing and published in this issue of Documentary Editing, Michael Stevens discussed advances in the craft, professionalism, and legacy of the field over the past twenty years. The book that he and Steven Burg have written is an example of the interconnections among these advances. For a craft to improve, its practitioners must become more professional and reflective about their practices. For professionalism to develop, a body of knowledge and some degree of consensus about the practice of a craft must be established. And for a …

Information Resources In Interdisciplinary Writing Program (Iwp) Courses: Winter And Spring 1998, Anne E. Zald, Nana Lowell

Library Faculty Research

The University of Washington (UW) Interdisciplinary Writing Program (IWP) provides five-credit expository writing courses each of which is linked to a discipline-based lecture course. Students enroll in both the writing and discipline-based courses, and complementary assignments allow them to improve their writing skills within a subject area of their own particular interest. In Winter and Spring of 1998, the UW UWired program sponsored a pilot program adding librarian-taught class sessions to existing IWP courses. These sessions focused on the use of information resources in the context of student research for writing assignments. Post-course questionnaires were composed primarily of items drawn …

Exposing "Secrets Worth Knowing" In The Early Republic: Robert R. Henry's Papers As A Problem In Documentary Research, Robert Scott Davis Jr. Sep 1998

Exposing "Secrets Worth Knowing" In The Early Republic: Robert R. Henry's Papers As A Problem In Documentary Research, Robert Scott Davis Jr.

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

The "Journal of Archibald Clark" proved to be the papers of Robert R. Henry. They document Henry's 1820s political crusade in Georgia, New York, and Washington to replace Clark as the port master at St. Marys, Georgia. Henry meticulously recorded his thoughts and actions in what he eventually left as a memoir to his descendants. He even saw ammunition for his causes in documents critical of his efforts, which he copied without obvious prejudice. These papers provide an extremely rare documented case study of political activism of the period.

Churchill-Reves Correspondence : Review Of Winston Churchill And Emery Reves: Correspondence, 1937-1964, Ed. With An Introduction And Notes By Martin Gilbert., Roger Adelson

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

Martin Gilbert, the official biographer of Winston Churchill and editor of his papers since 1968, has added another volume to his extraordinary documentation of the British statesman's life and career. In the mid-1990s, this historian at Merton College, Oxford, was knighted for completing the official biography, which was started by Churchill's son in the early 1960s. When Randolph Churchill died, the holder of the copyright asked Gilbert, then one of Randolph's research assistants, to continue the official biography along the lines that had already been established by the family and the British and U.S. publishers. The first two volumes, Youth, …

The World Wide Web is rapidly becoming the first place that researchers and the curious look when they are interested in a topic.

Writing Center Practices In Tennessee Community Colleges, James E. Crawford Aug 1998

Writing Center Practices In Tennessee Community Colleges, James E. Crawford

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The objective of this study was to develop a profile of writing centers in twelve community colleges governed by the Tennessee Board of Regents. This profile included how they were established, how they are funded and staffed, what services are provided and to whom, how training is provided for staff, and how technology is incorporated. More important than the profile itself, however, was an analysis of successful and unsuccessful practices, especially those related to governance, structure, and training of staff, as revealed through the perceptions and experiences of writing center directors. Because electronic technology has transformed the craft of writing, …

On Editing Hemingway Badly Or Not At All: Cautionary Reflections, Susan F. Beegel Jun 1998

On Editing Hemingway Badly Or Not At All: Cautionary Reflections, Susan F. Beegel

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

The archivally correct cardboard boxes of the Hemingway Collection pulse with energy. Hemingway's estate included at his death nearly twenty thousand pages of holograph, typescript, carbon, and proof. Those pages make up more than eight hundred manuscripts of published and unpublished work, and vividly show the composition process of twentieth-century American literature's most influential prose stylist. They represent as well one of the last and finest opportunities to study the composition process itself, now that the delete key has arrived to send all false starts, alternative endings, errors, and omissions into the ether, and to cloak the writer's additions and …

Are Religious Records Different?, Robert J. Cain

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

Are religious records different?" It depends. The answer must take into account such basic historical considerations as time, place, circumstances, and personalities. This much, as least, is common to "religious" and "secular" records.
