Looking inside the world of peer review: Implications for graduate student writers
Getting published in academic journals is increasingly important for research students in terms of gaining employment when they complete their studies and, in the future, for tenure and promotion applications once they have obtained an academic appointment.

Genre and second-language academic writing
The term ‘genre’ first came into the field of second-language (L2) writing and, in turn, the field of English for specific purposes (ESP) in the 1980s, with the research of John Swales, first carried out in the UK, into the introduction section of research articles. Other important figures in this area are Tony Dudley-Evans, Ann Johns and Ken Hyland, who have argued for the value of genre in the teaching of L2 academic writing. ESP genre analysis…

A note on using sociolingustic methods to study non‐native attitudes towards English
A number of studies have been undertaken to determine what variety of English learners of English want as a learner goal (Benson, 1991; Shaw, 1983; Kachru, 1976; Sahgal, 1991; Starks and Paltridge, 1994). This paper describes the major types of studies used to determine language attitudes of native and non‐native speakers and highlights a number of differences in their methodologies. The paper then shows how one of the techniques used in sociolin…
Extending the notion of ‘text’: The visual and performing arts doctoral thesis
Doctoral writing in the visual and performing arts poses many challenges for the academy, not the least of which is accounting for the possible relations which can hold between the written and creative/performed components of a doctoral thesis in these fields. This article proposes that the interrelations between the two components in doctoral submissions of this kind can be theorized as being on a continuum of interrelations, with a number of ke…

Writing up research: A systemic functional perspective
Genre Analysis and the Identification of Textual Boundaries
Recent years have seen a considerable growth in the area of genre-based language studies. Many of these studies focus on levels of discourse structure which have been variously referred to in the literature as the 'schematic structure', 'generic structure', and 'generic structural potential'for a particular genre. Very little research, however, has attempted to examine the criteria that have been used for the identification of textual boundaries …
