Science Research Writing for Non-Native Speakers of English
This book is designed to enable non-native English speakers to write science research for publication in English. It can also be used by English speakers and is a practical, user-friendly book intended as a fast, do-it-yourself guide for those whose English language proficiency is above intermediate. The approach is based on material developed from teaching graduate students at Imperial College London and has been extensively piloted. The book guides the reader through the process of writing science research and will also help with writing a Master's or Doctoral thesis in English.

Ideas and Options in English for Specific Purposes
This volume presents a range of views about language, learning, and teaching in English for Specific Purposes (ESP). Its purpose is to go beyond individual cases and practices to examine the approaches and ideas on which they are based. The aim is for readers to adopt an analytical stance toward the field and to identify current perspectives in ESP and the ideas driving them.
Ideas and Options in English for Specific Purposes does not promote any one approach, but rather identifies and illustrates those in evidence today. The main emphasis is on the links between theory and ESP teaching and research. Ideas from linguistics, sociolinguistics, education, SLA, and social theories are described. Links are then made between these ideas and ESP course designs, instructional materials, and research projects. Thus the book moves back and forth between descriptions of theories, teaching practice, and research.
Part I introduces the book's approach to description of ESP and the framework used to investigate it. Part II examines ideas of language, learning, and teaching in ESP. Recognizing that ESP is taught in many different countries and contexts, the author draws on a wide range of examples of teaching practice and research from around the world and from different branches of ESP, including English for Academic Purposes, English for Professional Purposes, and English for Vocational Purposes. From Chapter 3 onward, each chapter includes Questions for Discussion and Projects, to encourage readers to research and analyze the practices of ESP in their own contexts and to consider the ideas they draw on in their own teaching.
This text is geared toward graduate-level TESOL education courses.

The Routledge Handbook of Language in the Workplace
The Routledge Handbook of Language in the Workplace provides a
comprehensive survey of linguistic research on language in the workplace written by
top scholars in the field from around the world. The Handbook
covers theoretical and methodological approaches, explores research in different
types of workplace settings, and examines some key areas of workplace talk that have
been investigated by workplace researchers. Issues of identity have become a major
focus in recent workplace research and the Handbook highlights some
core issues of relevance in this area, such as gender, leadership, and intercultural
communication. As the field has developed, applications of workplace research for
both native and non-native speakers have emerged. Insights can inform and improve
input from practitioners training workers in a range of fields and across a variety
of contexts, and the Handbook foregrounds some of the ways
workplace research can do this. This is an invaluable resource for researchers and
graduate students interested in learning more about workplace discourse.

Biomedical English : a corpus-based approach
In this article, I outline the fundamental aspects of how frame semantics is applied to lexical analysis in the Spanish FrameNet project (SFN). To this end, I describe the process of semantic annotation in SFN and the software tools we use, and how we have used our annotated sentences as a training corpus to implement automatic semantic-role labelling for Spanish. I then describe our initial forays into the study of Spanish grammatical constructions, in which we are integrating frame semantics into syntactic analysis. Finally, I discuss SFN's procedure for annotating metaphors and show how frame semantics can be used to analyse their emergent meanings.

Doing English in Asia
Doing English in Asia: Global Literature and Culture examines the effect of globalization on the curriculum of Asian universities. As knowledge of the English language has increasingly been understood as necessary to excel in international business, a number of Asian universities have replaced the traditional study of English literature and culture with applied English or English for specified purposes. This edited collection tackles the question of how to teach English language and culture through literature in case studies from practitioners all across Asia. Contributors thus balance the need for students to understand the interface between English cultures and their own with the pressure to prepare them for employment in this changing environment.
