This paper reports on a study involving texts written in four different genres (explanation, argument, recount and
classification) by Taiwanese citizens (experienced and novice writers). Some of the texts were written in Chinese,
some in English; some were written by students, some by expert/ experienced writers. Analysis of these texts in terms
of overall rhetorical structuring and internal discourse patterning indicated that there were no significant differences
between the texts written in English and the texts written in Chinese. In fact, the texts written in Chinese by expert
writers of Chinese were often closer to prototypes derived from the analysis of academic articles appearing in Englishmedium
academic journals than were the texts written in English by both native and non-native speakers of English.
This study highlights a number of issues that are critical in relation to the ways in which Chinese writers (and other
non-Western writers) are typically stereotyped in Western literature. Its implications for the design of writing courses for
non-native speakers of English are discussed in the context of a critique of deficit-based modelling.
