However, research works in an integrative nature of academic writing recognize the skills that are common for various research fields and specific for academic context. Some works are currently investigating methods to develop academic skills, while a few papers are devoted to the problem of assessing the outcomes. Traditionally the quality of an academic text is measured by the requirements to text organization, context and language proficiency. However, this model does not form a unity until a new idea is introduced into the process of teaching and assessment. The possible solution is to focus on the quality of students’ texts authenticity. Academic text authenticity indicates to what extent the initial norms of authentic academic writing - in organization, context and language use - are modified by students belonging to a different writing culture. The paper defines the category “authenticity” for academic texts and presents examples of assessing the text quality with a set of descriptors. The results could be implemented in professional language studies and in the postgraduate training of students aimed at publishing the results of their research work.</abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru">Необходимость достойного представления отечественной науки в мировом научном пространстве вызвала пристальный интерес исследователей различных областей к вопросам обучения академическому письму на английском языке в российских вузах. Интегративный характер дисциплины позволяет рассматривать вопросы развития академической грамотности как общеметодологические, без акцента на предметную область. Среди актуальных вопросов обучения академическому письму выделяется недостаточно исследованная проблема оценивания качества результатов обучения - текстов. Традиционные критерии оценивания - структура, содержание и языковая грамотность - позволяют детально оценить различные стороны текста. Однако такая модель не носит интегративного характера. Для пишущего целостное понимание сущности академического появляется с введением понятия «аутентичность текста». Категория «аутентичность академического текста» позволяет объединить разрозненные критерии, т.к. идейно объясняет, как стремление к созданию аутентичного текста на иностранном языке одновременно реализуется во всех трех аспектах: структурно, в содержании и языковом воплощении. В статье представлены понимание категории аутентичности и модель ее измерения, апробированная в курсе обучения академическому письму на английском языке в российском вузе. Описанная система оценивания может быть использована для повышения качества профессиональной языковой подготовки студентов и магистрантов, нацеленных на публикацию результатов исследовательской деятельности.</trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>academic writing</kwd><kwd>EAP</kwd><kwd>text authenticity</kwd><kwd>authenticity of content</kwd><kwd>task authenticity</kwd><kwd>academic literacy</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>академическое письмо</kwd><kwd>английский для академических целей</kwd><kwd>аутентичность текста</kwd><kwd>оригинальность содержания</kwd><kwd>аутентичное задание</kwd><kwd>академическая грамотность</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Akerblom, D., &amp; Lindahl, M.
