This paper presents a program for a university writing group, ran as a trial in Germany, that differs from common writing groups by allowing writers a high level of autonomy and choice. To theoretically frame this writing group model, we draw on the French philosopher Jacques Rancière and his presupposition of a radical equality of intelligence. Findings suggest that the use of these writing groups provide a foundation for students to experience academic writing in ways that are more playful, creative, and joyful, without feeling inferior and increasing students’ awareness of their own intelligence, capacity and creativity. By coupling grounded analysis with theoretical reflections, and a set of questions to guide practice, this paper outlines how this program could be relevant for writing educators, curriculum developers, and other faculties in higher educational institutions across global contexts.

English Academic Writing

Teaching writing in English is one of the principal tasks of English training of students in linguistic higher educational institutions, i.e. of training future teachers of English, translators, and applied linguists. This is due to the fact that written speech is more and more taking the position of the leading form of international communication in English as the global/planetary language of such communication, especially if that communication is professional, and, in particular, the academic one. For students of linguistic higher educational institutions, the main constituent of their English writing training is teaching them English academic writing (i.e. writing academic essays) because gaining command of just such writing skills serves as the basic means of mastering the skills of writing in English the most sophisticated types of written papers, such as professional articles, theses, presentation texts, etc. This kind of teaching only now begins to be researched in Ukrainian methodology of foreign language instruction, while using the project-computer methodology for that has not been researched at all as yet. This was the stimulus for choosing the above-mentioned issue as the subject matter of consideration in this article. It analyzes the project-computer technology developed by the authors and consisting of 12 stages of forming students’ academic essay writing skills in three selected subgenres of such essays (“personal opinion,” “for and against,” “problems and solutions”). All these stages are divided into the stages of off-line (purely project stages) and stages of blended off-line – on-line and purely on-line learning activities (project-computer stages). The characteristics of every stage are discussed and the model of the teaching/learning process in the conditions of using project-computer technology is suggested. The information concerning the practical efficiency of this technology is given. The conclusion is made about the rationality of introducing such a technology into courses of English at both linguistic and non-linguistic higher schools. Keywords: linguistic higher educational institution, academic writing in English, project-computer technology, stages of developing academic writing skills.

Introduction. The important factors affecting health and performance of young people are the conditions of education, in particular, a comfortable microclimate in the classrooms of higher educational institutions. Materials and methods. In view of the urgency of this problem, an analysis was made of the microclimate parameters of educational organizations of different profiles (Ufa city, the Republic of Bashkortostan). 294 classrooms were studied in 22 buildings of 4 leading universities in Ufa. A total of 3,822 measurements were taken to determine the parameters of the microclimate. The analysis of ionizing radiation in the aerial environment of classrooms. There was performed determination of radon and its affiliated products content. In order to assess the conditions and lifestyle of students of 4 higher educational institutions of the city of Ufa, we conducted an anonymous survey of 1,820 students of I and IV years of education. Results. The average temperature in the classrooms of all universities studied was 23.9±0.09 C. The average relative humidity in all classrooms was 34.2 ± 0.42%. Analysis of ionizing radiation (radon and its daughter products decay) in the aerial environment of the classrooms and sports halls located in the basement determined that the average annual equivalent equilibrium volumetric activity of the radon daughter products (EROA ± Δ222Rn) ranged from 28 ± 14 to 69 ± 34.5 meter, which meets the requirements established by SanPiN. Conclusion. The hygienic assessment of the microclimate parameters of educational institutions of various profile revealed a number of deviations from the regulated norms. The results indicate the need to control the parameters of the microclimate, both from the administration of universities, and from the professors. According to the results of the study, recommendations were prepared for the management of higher educational institutions in Ufa.
