| The purpose of this thesis is to explore what generic features are stable across cross cultural contexts and which features are in flux. The writing experiences of two Indian students who received their undergraduate engineering degrees in India and their graduate degrees in the U.S. are studied in this thesis. I'm studying two individual experiences of students, with a common background and a common set of research question around the conception and reproduction of the genre of technical project report. As I argue, the ways that international students merge different cultural influences is reflected in their writing and understanding of genre. |
