Framed within the current European Union’s educational policies aiming at developing communicative competence and digital literacy in a foreign language, this chapter presents an innovative, action-oriented, task-based, and technology-mediated approach to language assessment. Building on these principles, we propose the use of the e-portfolio as a...
This paper describes the design of an innovative approach to teaching and learning academic communication and intercultural linguistics in the English Studies field to foster competencies for participation in the Digital Society. More specifically, we describe the learning outcomes, sequence of tasks and assessment of competencies for an itinerary...
DIGITAL SCIENCE ACTION GROUP (D_SCI) is a multidisciplinary research group of researchers in the fields of computation and physics of complex systems, biomedic al and health sciences, data science, applied linguists, and specialists in languages for specific purposes, academic
writing, digital literacy development and science journalism. It s aim i...
Research that investigates plurilingual scholars often integrates some form of consultation with insiders of the studied community. However, it may be claimed that collaboration relations remain an "occluded" variable in methodological terms because of the lack of an explicit framework for undertaking joint research in the field of English for Rese...
This auto-ethnographic chapter draws attention to research publication productivity by connecting publication-related measures of success and the experiences attached to the outputs that count in evaluation and promotion of early-career scholars. Focusing on strategies and mentorship practices, the author, a plurilingual early-career scholar, prese...
As shown in a recent comprehensive systematic review (Yemini/ Sagie 2016), the most frequently recurring themes found in the literature on internationalization seem to share a clear focus on teaching, learning and research priorities with the operationalization of English as the language of these knowledge transfer activities in an internationalize...
The present study aims to explore the multiple functions of English in its inter-relatedness with the ethos for internationalization (Muresan & Pérez-Llantada, 2014) shaping the professional and academic life of multilingual social scientists. Ten semi-structured interviews have been conducted with university teachers involved in English-medium ins...
Arguably, language-related conventions in the biomedical field do not seem to show concern for the manifestation of authorship and identity. However, since authorship and its social, academic and financial implications are put forth in the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts submitted for biomedical publication (URM), it is essential to explore it...
This study particularly analyzes phraseological patterns of first person plural references as the expression of authorship in writing. Corpus evidence is obtained for two communities contrasted, that is English native scholars and their Spanish counterparts. Data on common authorship-related phraseological patterns retrieved with WSConcgram (Scott,...
Language and identity are claimed to be constitutive of knowledge production and thus become integral to writing. In this article, I start from the premise that a relationship between knowledge construction and academic text production is negotiated in intercultural contexts (cf. Connor 2008) under the constraints of social, cultural and personal f...
This article aims to evaluate the implementation of a pilot Peer Mentoring programme targeted at master level at the University of Zaragoza (Spain). In order to assess the project, two surveys were conducted among the participants by the end of the academic year: one addressed to students and another one addressed to mentors. The findings of this s...
This paper carries out a contrastive analysis of biomedical research articles published in international English-medium journals and written by scholars from two Cultural contexts (Anglo-American and Spanish). It first describes both similarities and differences in terms of the rhetorical effects that first-person plural references ("we", "our" and...

Web 2.0 has brought about dramatic changes in the transmission and dissemination of science, facilitating the communication between scientists and also with non-specialized audiences. Digital affordances facilitate the emergence of hybrid genres and the combination of genres to form complex generic assemblages (genre sets, genre systems and genre ecologies) to communicate science to diversified audiences.
In this context, this project seeks to respond to the problematization of the traditional concept of genre and explore the use of genre repertoires to communicate science openly on the Internet. Our purpose is to identify the intertextual relationships in the new combinations of genres afforded by the digital environments, paying special attention to processes of generic innovation through the use of multimodal elements, and processes of generic hybridization, and appropriation of non-scientific discourses.
