Abstract

Academic writing tasks in English for specific purposes are generally quite formal, objective (impersonal) and technical. In the present paper the four main types of academic writing (descriptive, analytical, persuasive and critical) and their specific text features are discussed from a text linguistic perspective. The student‘s portfolio has been introduced as part of the overall students‘ assessment in English for Pharmacy, Dentistry and Medicine at MU-Varna. Narrative and reflection text types found in students‘ writing samples suggest genre mixing and no clear template for writing a short assignment that distil technical information to its scientific essence. Our aim is to provide a framework for its structure, length, discourse modes, formality, and lexico-grammatical characteristics as a discipline-specific text type that can be effectively applied for summative assessment purposes in tertiary education.
