Escribir Ciencia en Inglés es un curso destinado a la reflexión y el análisis del uso de la lengua inglesa en los artículos de investigación publicados en revistas científicas. Los profesores que imparten el curso son expertos en el estudio del género lingüístico y la lingüística aplicada en diferentes universidades. Una de las actividades del curso consistirá en una mesa redonda con editores de revistas científicas en la que se abordará el papel de la lengua inglesa como instrumento de internacionalización de la investigación. Este curso es parte de los esfuerzos de nuestras universidades por mejorar la difusión de la investigación en un contexto de excelencia, global y especializado.
