Spoken academic discourse: an approach to research on lectures

Abstract

Research on the discourse of lectures is becoming more and more relevant in recent years. This may be due to the increasing internationalization of higher education both from the point of view of students as from that of teachers. The aim of this paper is to present a state of the art of the research on lectures highlighting the studies developed by the Group of Research on Academic and Professional English (G.R.A.P.E.) at Universitat Jaume I (Castellon, Spain). It is part of a broader research project that aims at shedding some light on the features of lecturers in English in order to be able to establish a comparison with Spanish lectures. This research intends to be a contribution to a better understanding of academic discourse by both English and Spanish students as well as to an improvement of the lectures given in English by Spanish university teachers.
