During this transitional period,\u00a0students will be asked to: 1) participate in \u201ctalking around text\u201d\u00a0interviews\u00a0(Baker, 2018; Ivanic, 1998; Lillis, 2001), 2) submit a sample of writing pieces,\u00a0and\u00a03) complete a writing log.\u00a0All these data will be analysed by\u00a0using both a\u00a0scheme code (Gaisler &amp;\u00a0Swarts, 2019) according to research questions and a constant comparison method to obtained emergent categories (Charmaz, 2013).\u00a0In this presentation, initial results\u00a0of this study\u00a0will be introduced. With these findings, I hope to contribute to a better understanding of how students from less privileged backgrounds face a diverse range of writing\u00a0practices as well as identify which meanings they attribute to them in the context of their daily lives\u00a0and life projects.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Further Guidance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For further guidance on writing abstracts, Shungo Suzuki from LAEL at Lancaster University has kindly shared his experiences and advice here:<\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/laelpgconference\/files\/2019\/03\/abstractwriting-190307183907.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shungo Suzuki<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<h3><strong>Publication Guidelines<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Speakers will also be invited to submit their papers for publication in <em>Papers from the Lancaster Linguistics and English Language Postgraduate Conference<\/em>.
