“…In reinforcing English as an official scientific publication idiom (Parkinson, 2013 ), 96.3% of articles were published in English. The remaining 3.7% (53 articles) were published in 11 languages, including German, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, French, Japanese, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Turkish.…”

Trends on Microalgae-Fungi Consortia Research: An Alternative for Biofuel Production?

et al. 2022

The utilization of microalgae and fungi on an industrial scale is a challenge for researchers. Based on the question “how fungi have contributed to microalgae research?,” we verified the scientific trends on microalgae-fungi consortia focused on biofuels production by searching for articles on the Web of Science and Scopus databases through the terms “microalgae*” or phytoplankton and “fung*.” We found 1,452 articles published between 1950 and 2020; since 2006, the publication numbers have increased rapidly. The articles were published in 12 languages, but most were written in English (96.3%). Among 72 countries, China (360 articles), USA (344), and Germany (155) led the publication rank. Among the 10 most-prolific authors, 8 were Chinese, like 5 of the most-productive institutions, whereas the National Cheng Kung University was on the top of the list. The sources that published the most on the subject were: Bioresource Technology (96), PLoS ONE (28), and Science of the Total Environment (26). The keyword analysis emphasized the magnitude of applications in microalgae-fungi consortia research. Confirming this research question, biofuels appeared as a research trend, especially biodiesel, biogas, and related terms like lipid, lipid accumulation, anaerobic digestion, and biogas upgrading. For 70 years, articles have been published, where China and the United States seem to dominate the research scenario, and biodiesel is the main biofuel derived from this consortium. However, microalgae-based biofuel biorefinery is still a bottleneck on an industrial scale. Recent environmental challenges, such as greenhouse gas mitigation, can be a promising field for that microalgae-fungi application.

“…My general advice to students was thus to research discussion sections of theses in their own discipline and particular area of study. It is to be noted that while variation in discourse structure is well researched in the RA (see Parkinson, 2013 for an overview), it has been less so in student graduate writing. Samraj's (2004) research on variation in student academic research papers from related disciplines in the field of environmental science, is an exception and such type of research therefore merits more attention in future.…”

“…It was ultimately decided that the revised curriculum would be informed by the tradition of English for Specific Purposes (Parkinson, 2013; Trace et al, 2015). This tradition holds that language is “dialogic and situated… a mosaic of registers and genres organized around specific domains of social practice” (Prior, 2013, p. 520).…”

The rise of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) threatens to upend traditional teaching and learning practices. Writing, speaking, and communication instruction will all need to evolve. This article presents a case study of one institution's efforts to design and implement a communication curriculum responsive to the unique demands of the EMI environment. The curriculum proposed enacts an interdisciplinary, multimodal approach to the teaching of communication. We discuss the specifics of the curriculum, the process of its creation, the principles underlying it, and how these principles play out in practice. In doing so, we hope to provide a model both for global communication instruction and future curricular design efforts.
