Cross-Cultural Dilemmas in Writing: Need for Transformations in Teaching and Learning.
Townsend, Jane S.; Fu, Danling
College Teaching, v46 n4 p128-33 Fall 1998
A study investigated how 13 Chinese graduate students approach writing tasks, examining cultural assumptions and values underlying choices made in the process. Students were interviewed in Chinese by an interviewer of similar cultural background and asked to explain their understanding of writing and their frustration in learning to write English for American classes. Implications are drawn for cross-cultural teaching. (MSE)
