Spoken features in learner academic writing: identification, explanation and solution

Year: 2007

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This paper shows, on the basis of a comparison of learner corpus data with written and spoken native corpus data, that learners tend to use spoken features when organising their academic writing. Possible explanations are offered to account for this problem of register confusion, including L1 transfer, L2 instruction and developmental factors. Suggestions are also made to help learners become more aware of register variation. 1.
