How to learn the many unwritten "rules of the game" of the academic discourse: a hybrid approach based on critiques and cases to support scientific writing

We present the computational and composition theoretical bases for the design of a collaborative writing tool, based on the critiquing approach, to assist non-native novice researchers in understanding and production of the structure of scientific papers.

Description
Summary:We present the computational and composition theoretical bases for the design of a collaborative writing tool, based on the critiquing approach, to assist non-native novice researchers in understanding and production of the structure of scientific papers. This critiquing tool is embedded in a suite named AMADEUS that caters for various needs of non-native English users to produce a first draft of a paper, relying on the reuse of contextualized linguistic material as input for the user. Our emphasis is on the architecture and methodology to build the linguistic resources for the critiquing tool. Though originally targeted at non-native authors, the critiquing tool may also be useful for novice native English writers and as a teaching resource for English for Academic Purposes practitioners.
