Writing beyond the academy
Despite increasing expectations for scholars to communicate their research to the public, and the advanced communicative skills this expectation requires, research in genre pedagogy has almost exclusively targeted academic writing. Our aim was to design and trial a “multi-genre task”, a task sequence that incorporates working with academic and outreach genres concurrently. This task combined examples of two genres tied to different social context…
Collaborative writing regulation
Active learning and project-based learning are well-established instructional practices in higher education: abundant evidence shows their effectiveness in student development and learning. Especially in STEM, these practices often entail group work and collaborative writing. Therefore, the framework of Social Regulation of Learning (SoRL)—including socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL) and co-regulation of learning (CoRL)—is useful for e…
Conceptualising and cultivating Critical GAI Literacy in doctoral academic writing
Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) has revolutionised the landscape of academic writing, presenting both advantages and risks to learning for L2 writers. It is thus imperative that L2 writers, especially at advanced academic levels, develop the critical skills necessary for employing GAI tools ethically and effectively in their writing processes. Our study addressed this need by 1) conceptualising Critical GAI Literacy based on current rese…
Integrating Home and International Students in HE
Integration is vital to student well-being in higher education but integrating new students from different countries can be challenging. To ascertain students’ integration into their new environment, this mixed method study combined the data collected from weekly diary entries of home and international students at the start of one engineering program, with follow-up interviews. These students studied primarily online due to the pandemic. The diar…

Introduction to the special issue
Scaffolding L2 Academic Reading and Self‐Regulation Through Task and Feedback
Research has shown that classroom‐based reading strategy training does not necessarily result in effective, self‐regulated reading behaviours when students engage with authentic academic reading in their own study contexts. In light of this problem, our study examines the effects of an instructional scaffold combined with teacher feedback, designed to foster students’ self‐regulation in authentic academic reading contexts. Over a 5‐week period, s…
Searching for Metacognitive Generalities
What aspects of writing are doctoral students metacognitive about when they write research articles for publication? Contributing to the recent conversation about metacognition in genre pedagogy, this study adopts a qualitative approach to illustrate what students have in common, across disciplines and levels of expertise, and the dynamic interplay of genre knowledge and metacognition in learning to write for research. 24 doctoral students in STE…
Metacognitive illusion or self-regulated learning? Assessing engineering students’ learning strategies against the backdrop of recent advances in cognitive science
Knowing how students approach learning in higher education contexts is key to promote learning strategies that are effective in the long run. Previous research has concluded that students often use ineffective learning strategies but believe them to be effective—a phenomenon known as metacognitive illusion. In a bid to broaden the perspective on students’ use of learning strategies, this study draws on the notion of self-regulated learning as a t…
English for specific playfulness? How doctoral students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics manipulate genre
Calibrating Genre
Several strands of applied linguistic research have emphasized the importance of genre awareness for academic writing students. Although metacognitive behaviors have been linked to L2 writing proficiency and performance, there is still the need for an account of how and why different metacognitive behaviors can help L2 academic writers to apply genre knowledge in authentic situations. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this study borrows the…
“Lunch Keeps People Apart”
Research on the role of language in multilingual workplaces, where English is often adopted as a lingua franca (ELF), shows that language practices influence socialization and interpersonal communication, frequently creating issues such as asymmetrical sharing of information, language clusters, or thin communication. Similarly to other organizations, academic workplaces are undergoing a process of internationalization. However, academia as a work…
