    The received notion of culture as monolithic national identity has in recent decades given way to a new conceptualization. Culture is increasingly viewed as dynamic and multidimensional. Culture can include national or ethnic, but also disciplinary or professional, institutional, consumer, technological, and individual dimensions. This new understanding of culture plays a role in analysis of relationships in the English language classroom between students and instructor, and in negotiations between students and administrators.

    Grant Proposal Writing: A Case Study of an International Postdoctoral Researcher
    (2008-10-09T17:48:11Z) Strickland, Clyde William; Connor, Ulla, 1948-; Rozycki, William V.; Upton, Thomas A. (Thomas Albin)
    The subject of this case study is an international postdoc, a principal investigator of a large medical research laboratory. The study’s objective: examine the systematic process of writing a grant proposal in L2 English from start to finish. Obtaining original computer files exempt from being saved-over became a significant obstacle in examining the systematic process. Ethnographic data reveal pedagogical implications for L2 instruction in grasping the big picture, summarizing to fit word limitations, understanding the application process, familiarity of the grant genre of a specific discipline, and the skills to network with peers. This study opens the door to further studies that might provide a better window of understanding in the systematic writing process of an international postdoctoral’s grant proposal.
