| Description | This paper presents results gained from questionnaires and interviews focused on target language education needs in English academic writing. The special focus is on understanding characteristics of writing style, genre-specific features of academic writing in specific academic disciplines that students enrolled in PhD programmes in audio-visual arts, industrial design and photography should be able to gain. The collected data in questionnaires and interviews refer to some degree of discrepancy in subjective and objective language needs in academic and vocational writing for the target students, namely in what students believe they need during their studies, what they believe will be needed in the future and what is expected from them in the future. Finally, how to implement these findings into the development of writing skills in the classes of English for Academic Purposes is considered. |
