However, the linguistic competence required to achieve academic success at any university where English is the medium of instruction is a challenge for all students. While there are linguistic features common to academic literacy as a general genre, closer investigation reveals significant differences from one academic field to another. This volume asks what good writing is within specific disciplines, focussing on student work. Each chapter provides key insights by EAP professionals, based on their research in which they bring together analysis of student writing and interviews with subject specialists and markers who determine what 'good writing' is in their discipline. \u003cbr\u003eThe volume includes chapters on established disciplines which have had less attention in the EAP and academic writing literature to date, including music, formal linguistics, and dentistry, as well as new and growing fields of study such as new media.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMelinda Whong\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Language Education, and Director of the Center for Language Education at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJeanne Godfrey\u003c\/b\u003e is Teaching Fellow at the University of Leeds, UK.
