"Completely Different Worlds": EAP and the Writing Experiences of ESL Students in University Courses.
Leki, Ilona; Carson, Joan
TESOL Quarterly, v31 n1 p39-69 Spr 1997
Analyzes interview data collected from English-as-a-Second-Language students regarding their writing experience in English for academic purposes (EAP) and other courses. Characterizes students' reactions to three types of writing contexts and argues that EAP courses requiring students to write from general knowledge or personal experience limit their personal and academic growth.
