eng	Academic Writing: Modal Verbs in the Role of Hedges	This presentation is concerned with the use of modal verbs as hedging devices in bachelor theses written by students of English for Business. It aims to explore whether and how students apply their explicit knowledge concerning English modal verbs in academic writing. The presentation also attempts to demonstrate that the learners do not seem to fully exploit the pragmatic potential of modals in the role of hedges when presenting and interpreting findings of their studies.	modal verbs; hedging; academic writing; explicit knowledge; implicit knowledge
