Attività di ricerca e eventi

Description

Partendo da un insieme di approcci diversi al discorso accademico come campo di ricerca, il Centro si propone di raccogliere e analizzare diversi tipi di dati che possono essere rilevati nello studio della scrittura accademica.   
  
Gli elementi testuali e contestuali sono presi in considerazione, insieme al loro contributo agli obiettivi che caratterizzano i diversi approcci agli studi sul discorso accademico e agli studi sull’alfabetizzazione accademica. Un’attenzione particolare è data agli approcci basati sul corpus e alla costruzione di un corpus.

La ricerca si svilupperà insieme alle attività didattiche e mira a:  

  • informare e sviluppare le pedagogie della scrittura accademica  
  • creare connessioni tra le teorie e le pratiche della scrittura accademica  
  • contribuire ai dibattiti attuali nel campo interdisciplinare della scrittura accademica
  • monitorare e valutare le attività del Centro.
