Academic Writing in Additional Languages (LX)

The volume is a collection of works devoted to teaching academic writing in additional languages (LX) and academic discourse, presented from the perspective of four languages: English, Portuguese, Italian, and Spanish. It serves as a valuable source of both theoretical knowledge for scholars studying discourse in academic contexts and practical knowledge for teachers. Particular focus is placed on the impact on the teaching process of linguistic theories (like functional linguistics and metadiscourse theory) and emerging technologies (like large language models, artificial intelligence, and gamification).
