The University at Buffalo Graduate School of Education offers courses on teaching L2 academic writing and L2 reading, which go hand in hand.

It looks as though the courses that people are familiar with have L1 academic writing as their emphasis, which is problematic when one is teaching L2 users.   Is anyone familiar with an institution that is working with promotion of L2 academic writing/research writing?  I know that Purdue has a strong emphasis on this, but I do not know if a person can dabble in their graduate courses.  Anyone have other thoughts on that?

Sincerely,
Karyn Sandström

There is a course available at University of Nottingham, UK. It's completely online, takes about a year and costs around GBP2000. You will actually get a PG Cert at the end.

You might want to look into that.

I am a university professor at Universidad Nacional del Sur, Bahía Blanca, Argentina. I teach English as a Foreign Language and I would like to attend a course on how to teach academic writing to university students. Unfortunately I have not been able to find any institution offering this kind of training for teachers of English. I was wondering if someone had some information to share on the issue. I'm also planning on attending the Conference held in Budapest if I get the authorization from my university to travel.
Thanks for your help.
