作为学术英语（EAP）写作指导者和写作课程规划者，我们需要了解ESL写作课程在衡量和满足ESL学生在大学课程中的写作需求方面的成功程度。然而，作出这一决定是困难的，因为许多学术写作的要求可能是隐含在学科课程的课程，因此不适合由局外人现成的描述。此外，我们还需要知道有多少结转从ESL写作课程发生与ESL学生，也就是说，他们的ESL写作教学的元素，他们发现有用的，并提供给他们作为学生的内容课程？本文报道了一项调查的前ESL学生现在在大学水平的内容课程，旨在调查学生的看法之间的关系，写作指导的学生在ESL写作课和实际的写作任务，他们发现在跨学科的课程。调查的结果包括在ESL写作课程中教授的写作技巧，学生发现在处理其他内容课程的写作要求时最有用的迹象。在他们对开放式调查问题的回答中，ESL学生还描述了他们对ESL写作课程之外的持续写作需求的看法。
As English for academic purposes (EAP) writing instructors and writing curriculum planners, we need to know the degree to which ESL writing courses have been successful in gauging and providing for ESL students' writing needs across the university curriculum. However, making this determination is difficult because many academic writing requirements may be implicit in the curriculum of the disciplinary course and thus not amenable to ready description by the outsider. Furthermore, we also need to know how much carryover from ESL writing courses occurs with ESL students—that is, what elements of their ESL writing instruction have they found useful and available to them as students in content courses? This article reports on a survey of former ESL students now in university-level content courses that is designed to investigate students' perceptions of the relationship between the writing instruction the students received in ESL writing classes and the actual writing tasks they found in courses across the disciplines. The results of the survey include indications of which writing skills taught in ESL writing courses students found most useful in dealing with the writing demands of other content courses. In their answers to open-ended survey questions, ESL students also described their perceptions of their ongoing writing needs beyond the ESL writing curriculum.
