AB In this paper we re-examine the emphasis on individual expertise, through the explorationof two case studies of scholarly academic writing production in two contexts —Spain andHungary. We argue that the dominant emphasis in ELT1 on competence as individualknowledge or expertise may be misguided in a number of ways; it does not reflect the reallife text production practices of scholars; and it underplays the importance of the opportunitiesand resources afforded by the material conditions under which scholars work. We callfor a shift in emphasis away from the individual producer, towards the relations betweenthe individual, his/her network, and the resources that can be mobilised for text production.Individual knowledge of, or “competence” in, English thus becomes one element ofmany which lead to the successful production of English-medium academic texts. We endby briefly discussing some implications for teaching.
