Abstract

In spite of the increasing demand for courses that assist Japanese students to have successful academic experiences in their overseas studies, little is known about what is needed to ensure success in students' studies abroad and how to better prepare them for their future academic experiences overseas. Given the emphasis on writing placed in academia, this paper focuses on academic writing and views academic writing development as a socialization process into academic communities. In order to find what the academic literacy socialization process entails, previous studies on students' academic literacy socialization processes in North American university settings were reviewed, and important issues from those studies identified. Based on these issues, specific suggestions relevant to areas of EAP writing instruction in Japanese university settings are discussed.
