It reports on a small-case study aimed to reflect on the implications of lecturers’ textual choices for the note-taking habits of engineering students and ultimately for their representation of contents. The analysis of seven engineering lectures in English and Spanish in a summer seminar for EU polytechnic students, of seven condensed lectures in English by engineering teachers during an in-service training course at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and of twenty questionnaires probing into the students’ note-taking routines, suggests an influence of lecturing style on note quality and evidences several lecturing deficiencies at the rhetorical level that may hamper the practice of conceptual mapping.}, number={23}, journal={Alicante Journal of English Studies / Revista Alicantina de Estudios Ingleses}, author={Sancho Guinda, Carmen}, year={2010}, month={Dec.}, pages={83–105} }
