  1. My use of discourse analysis (DA) in my project Monica Behrend 23 April 2006

  2. Student text Computer Crime, Information Warfare and Security is important issue in the world wide. This report is briefly discussing the computer Crime, Information Warfare and Security and compares their environment in Hong Kong and Australia. The trends are identified using data from the latest computer crime and security survey for HKCERT and AusCERT survey reports. Bothes countries acknowledge the major computer attack are come from out comer (81% in Australia, 42.9% attacks for oversea and 19.3% locally in HK). Infection from Virus, Worms or Trojans was most common for Australia (64%) and Hong Kong (94.5%). The cost of the electronic attack in Australia (AUS$13 million) and Hong Kong (HK$0.85 million). Bothes of countries are high using the Antivirus software and firewall to protect their organisation networks. The reporting of the electric attack to relative Centre that seems Australia (67%) more active then Hong Kong (2.8% and 0.9% report to HK police and HKCERT). The protection of the information for both of countries is also having improvement compare for the previous year.

  3. Student text • What can you say about this text? • What can you say about the cultural & linguistic dimensions related to the writing process and the product?

  4. Discourse analysis Alison Lee • DA as ‘contemporary site of struggle’ • Language – words construct meaning in systems of meanings in relation to other meanings according to the codes culturally available • Through DA construct a model of the world • With DA answers are not in the method, but in the questions we are attending to.

  5. Discourse analysis Language used in social contexts • various disciplines • complex – many processes, theoretical approaches, more than a method • suit epistemology, context, purpose • DA features – ‘complex web of similarities’ (naturally occurring language, beyond text, enabling social action, relationship between text and context, critical approaches) • multi-perspectived methodology (Crichton 2005): inter-contextual, interactional, language => deep & accurate insight into complex situations

  6. Context Research focus What are cultural and linguistic dimensions for transnational students using online resources for academic writing? Participants Final year undergraduate Computer Science part-time EFL students in Hong Kong studying in an institutional partnership arrangement (UniSA & HKBU) My background A learning adviser who provides face-to-face language support for on-campus students and questions the nature of cultural & linguistic factors influencing online support
