SCIENTIFIC WRITING IN A SECOND LANGUAGE investigates and aims to
alleviate the barriers to the publication of scientific research
articles experienced by scientists who use English as a second
language. David Ian Hanauer and Karen Englander provide a
comprehensive meta-synthesis of what is currently known about the
phenomenon of second language scientific publication and the ways
in which this issue has been addressed. SCIENTIFIC WRITING IN A
SECOND LANGUAGE reports new qualitative and quantitative research
on the phenomenon and problems faced by second language scientists
publishing in English. This data explicitly quantifies the burden
of second language science writing. Hanauer and Englander also
provide a framework of educational resources that facilitate
informed, innovative approaches to alleviate the barrier of English
literacy from publishing scientific knowledge by second language
English writers. Scientific Writing in a Second Language provides a
sophisticated analysis of the issues faced by publishing second
language scientists and a synthesis of pedagogical options for
enhancing the options scientists have to write and publish research
articles in a second language. SCIENTIFIC WRITING IN A SECOND
LANGUAGE is a central resource for professional scientists whose
first language is not English and for those applied linguists,
second language writing specialists, and compositionists who work
with them. DAVID IAN HANAUER is Professor of English/Applied
Linguistics at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and an
educational researcher and the Assessment Coordinator of the Phage
Hunters Integrating Research and Education Program situated in the
Hatful Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh. He is the author
of six books, including Scientific Discourse: Multiliteracy in the
Classroom, Poetry as Research and Active Assessment: Assessing
Scientific Inquiry (with Graham Hatfull and Deborah Jacobs-Sera).
His articles have been published in Science and a wide range of
applied linguistics and educational journals. KAREN ENGLANDER, York
University, Canada, is a long-time faculty member of the
Universidad Autonoma de Baja California, Mexico, where she works
with scientists and graduate students who seek to publish their
research in English. She has published empirical research on the
policy, linguistic, and identity issues implicated in writing and
publishing scholarly work in English when the writer is not a
native speaker of the language. She is co-editor of Discourses and
Identities in Contexts of Educational Change, and her work has
appeared in the Journal of Applied Linguistics, Discourse Studies,
Journal of Language, Identity and Education, Journal of
International Women's Studies, and Written Communication, among
others.
