Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the present research, we conducted a cross analysis of EAP writing genres, using EAP genres that are important for college students, with a focus on linguistic features and rhetorical structures. Based on the results of the analysis, we developed systematic tasks for learning English academic writing. The results of the analysis were also used to propose a theoretical framework of genres, focusing on their commonalities. Taking into account the context of EAP education in Japan, we also developed and proposed EAP writing competency descriptors and rubrics for writing instruction to complement the tasks.
