This paper discusses the role of the language teacher in helping apprentice writers with their Masters or PhD thesis in one-to-one tutorials. It suggests that, in addition to correction of grammatical errors and weaknesses in coherence, the language teacher has a role to play in socialising students into the academic community and helping them learn the conventions of the particular discourse community that they are seeking to be part of. The paper presents evidence from a detailed study of two supervisors' comments on early drafts of a PhD thesis written by a native speaker of English and suggests that native and non-native speakers may have very similar problems in adjusting to the conventions of a particular discourse community.Étude du ...
