Sunday, January 20th, 2013, 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM
Speaker: Theron Muller, University of Toyama
In academic literature, the increasing pressure to publish is discernible. Muller will share research into emerging scholars in Japan pursuing academic publishing and their writing motivations/goals. The second half considers how the voices of the students are often lost when evaluating production by measuring accuracy, fluency, and complexity. We will step back to reflect on student voices and what insights they may reveal.
