What written academic genres do veterinary pathologists suggest for EAP students?

Abstract

English is the language of research and scholarship as attested by the bulk of\nscientific articles published in international journals and by its adoption in\nscholarly meetings and in higher education. In countries where English is a\nforeign language, the role of English as a contact language must inform\nuniversity syllabi and language lecturers should aim at familiarizing students with\nthe academic genres pertaining to their field of study. To date, Veterinary\nMedicine has not attracted analysts� attention and is an underrepresented field in\nGenre Analysis studies. To fill in part this gap, a survey was conducted among a\ngroup of veterinary pathologists � considered as a community of practice � on\nthe academic written genres to be used in university curricula. Results, shared to\ncall attention on English as a foreign language education in Veterinary Medicine,\nshow that respondents deem case-reports and monographs the genres to be used\nin English language courses; additionally, some respondents highlighted that\nlanguage teachers should develop presentation skills to give talks at international\nconferences.
