MY FIRST STEPS in EAP
After having celebrated my fifty-fifth-year birthday, I decided to undertake something which had always been part of my life and that for different reasons I could not fulfil yet. Currently it has not been something simple since it requires not only much more time and endeavour than I expected but also the essential development and attainment of writing academic skills. Certain formal elements such as proficiency in language use, style, register and genre(s), are essential. Completing assignments and turning them in on time is not everything. The purpose of academic writing is not merely to narrate events or describe people. Furthermore, as members of a discourse community, teachers are bound together by the acquisition of specific lexis and conventions. Working collaborative is something which has to follow definite requirements; particular goals – to complete the given assignment this time, participatory mechanisms- creating a google document so as we can all contribute
