Your own thoughts in your own words

Jane Sherman

Jane Sherman teaches English at La Sapienza University and LUISS University in Rome, and works as a consultant producing training materials for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and other organizations. Her main interests are syllabus and course development, methodology, and discourse analysis.

Italian university students' academic papers in English did not fulfil their English teachers'expectations in a number of ways. It was realized that this mismatch reflected different cultural attitudes to the functions of the written word and the purposes of the writer, some of which could be illustrated by reference to the Italian education system. The content, value, and implications of a 'cultural syllabus' are discussed.
