  • An Abstract of the Thesis Of
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Alexander J. Werndli for the degree of Master of Arts in English presented on June 4, 2021 Title: Translingual Science Communication: From Local Publications to the STEM Writing Classroom. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Ehren H. Pflugfelder In order to assist WAC/WID practitioners and science writing faculty in incorporating translingual perspectives in disciplinary writing instruction, this study extends translingualism to language practice in the sciences by conducting a corpus study of Al-Awamia, a Moroccan agronomic journal. Mapping rhetorically significant changes across abstracts authored in English, French, and Arabic suggests that European- language abstracts are generally tailored to an international specialist audience and Arabic abstracts favor a domestic policy maker audience. The rhetorical choices made to address these different audiences are typical of those studied by scholars of science communication, and accordingly this study suggests that non-specialist communication assignments may be a promising site to incorporate multiple language competencies into the STEM writing classroom. ©Copyright by Alexander J.
