ARTICLE WRITING WORKSHOPS FOR COLLEGE FACULTY
1 2 Lotte Rienecker , Peter Stray Jorgensen
College educations are becoming researchbased and college teachers increasingly do research and publish research and professional articles. This has created a need for both research and article writing support for new, yet very adult academic article writers. We have been on a nationwide “tour” of colleges with a very well evaluated article writing workshop. This workshop demonstrates examples of short scaffolding activities for article planning, writing and feedback, from our workshop activities with college teachers. Activities address the relation between articleinprogress’ intended audience, aims, intent, text types/speech acts and use for the article readers. We owe our workshop approach to rhetorical analysis and to the genre teaching of research articles (Swales, 2004), to Ede’s concept of article subgenres, as well as to the article workshop formats and activities, prompts etc. presented by Belcher (2009) and Murray (2013). We want to share and discuss with participants activities in teaching article writing within a genre and process approach and to exchange good practices in article writing workshops. New teachers of article writing – and of course experienced ones are welcome.
