English for Research Publication Purposes

Research output: Chapters, Conference Papers, Creative and Literary WorksRGC 12 - Chapter in an edited book (Author)peer-review

Abstract

The chapter reviews the main approaches to research in English for research publication purposes (ERPP), with discourse analysis and social constructivism or situated learning being the main theoretical approaches and a whole range of methods being used to pursue this research. This chapter explains the preeminence of English as the international language of research and publication and the advantages and disadvantages of this situation. Considering the disparities within academic publishing, the chapter highlights the disadvantages faced by English as an additional language (EAL) writers in particular, and periphery writers in general, of writing in English for publication. Finally, the chapter discusses the issue of pedagogy and suggests how an ERPP curriculum might look. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
