  报告提要：In the context of increasing pressure to publish research findings in English, this talk will focus on the successful development of an integrated, collaborative method for teaching research publication skills to  scientists. The method integrates the teaching of high-level English language learning skills, including corpus linguistics approaches, with a writing process based on the outcomes of genre analysis and a deep appreciation of the priorities of the target discourse community obtained by working closely with scientists. Originally developed for scientists in workplaces such as the institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the method has recently been adapted for use in Chinese university contexts, an outcome of a 4-year action research project at the University of CAS in Beijing. It will be argued that this teaching approach has the potential to strengthen the ability of research students using English as an additional language to present the novelty and significance of their work in ways valued by international publications, enhancing citations and thus research impact.
