SILVA, Elizabeth Maria da. Students' writing in university: an analysis of the dimensions of individuals. Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2015, vol.40, n.2, pp.311-318. ISSN 1984-6444.  https://doi.org/10.5902/1984644414983.

From a questioning about the conflict established between academic writing learning and academic writing educational expectations, we suggest that the "friendly supports" are one of the alternatives which students use to try to deal with this conflict. These supports can also be useful for students to recognize, gradually, the existence of authority and power relations permeating academic text production, as well as the need to incorporate the social role and identity required by the academy.

Palabras clave : Academic Writing; "Friendly Supports"; Social Role; Identity.
