This volume aims first to raise awareness of the significant contribution of Applied Linguistics in these key areas and then explore the challenges which scholars, researchers and students need to address when trying to build successful and sustainable collaboration between universities, industries and public sectors in national, transnational and international contexts. It also provides clear pointers for bringing university degrees in line with today’s job market and social demands.

Firstly, it defines terms that are relevant to online teaching/learning and discusses the main types of online learning according to their delivery mode. Then, it explores the current provision of online training programmes for preservice and in-service LSP teachers within the European Higher Education Area with a view to gaining a further understanding of the learning gaps and institutional requirements that would need to be covered in a future online course. The next section poses the research questions, explains the methodology that has been applied, and describes the instruments that have been developed. The main results and findings are presented in the third section, and the conclusions that follow suggest the existence of robust online learning methodologies and activities for implementation in online courses aimed at LSP teacher education and training.

However, not much has been investigated regarding the ways predatory journal editors convey credibility and trustworthiness when addressing scholars looking for publication outlets and, more specifically, what interpersonal resources (like proximity or engagement markers) are used to persuade them. This exploratory study draws on a dataset of fifty email messages from predatory publishers collected during the past two years. It seeks to delve into the ways predatory journal editors address "scholar customers" with the aim of persuading them to submit their work. This dataset was first coded following Hyland's models of proximity and interaction in academic texts, and then qualitatively analysed using NVivo 11 Pro. The analysis shows that (i) textual data provide direct evidence of the texts that predatory publishers send to scholars and the interpersonal dialogue they intend to build with authors in haste for publication; (ii) interactional resources abound, particularly engagement markers, which explicitly aim at building a rapport with the prospective author; and (iii) these predatory texts also contain other engagement-related elements directed to have an effect on the reader's decision for eventual submission.

It discusses data from interviews with 19 experienced in-service teachers of esp in two spanish universities. The interviews aimed to develop an understanding of the teachers' views of esp teaching, the kinds of knowledge and skills they required and the forms of support that could be of benefit to them. Results suggested that the teachers perceived needs in five areas: course development, knowledge of the target discipline, knowledge of language use in the target discipline, peer collaboration, and professional development opportunities. It is hoped that findings from the present study are illuminating for the esp teaching profession and drawn on in future teacher development initiatives in the local context.

The dataset is comprised of the replies to twenty semi-structured surveys that were administered among ten editors of Spanish journals in the area of the humanities and ten Spanish humanities researchers with extensive publishing experience in national and international journals. Main findings are discussed in terms of internationality, predominance of English and Spanish as scientific languages, research assessment, visibility, credibility, quality assurance, editorial expertise or open access. Moreover, they point at far-reaching implications for both parties, compelled to seeking academic acceptance and researching credibility in today's global scholarly communication while at the same time supporting the national science system through publication in national journals.

Interculturality and its impact upon the maritime profession is a major concern for the shipping industry as multilingual and multicultural crews prevail aboard ships. Four teaching/learning resources have been targeted: the latest ME textbook (Grice, 2012), a web-based ME learning tool (MarEng, 2007-2010), a recently launched online platform offering ME learning materials (SeaTALK, 2015), and the latest edition of a full Model Course programme on ME (IMO, 2015). The results obtained help to assess if, and to what extent ME language teaching materials serve as " mediators of intercultural communicative competence " (Rico Troncoso, 2012: 130), providers of intercultural awareness, facilitators for intercultural encounters and creators of " spaces for intercultural dialogue " (Council of Europe, 2008: 46). Conclusions are expected to further research into intercultural dialogicity and provide researchers in other languages and ESP fields with guidance for assessing the presence of intercultural-related features in their own course materials.

Tras seleccionar diez manuales de texto relevantes en diferentes áreas de especialidad, y publicados por distintas editoriales internacionales tras la implantación del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES) y entrada en vigor del Marco Común de Referencia Europeo para la Enseñanza de Lenguas, analizamos el grado de cumplimiento de quince indicadores de la competencia intercultural basándonos en la propuesta de Villa y Poblete (2008) para la evaluación de las competencias genéricas. Los resultados de este análisis nos llevan a concluir que los manuales de texto pueden ser unas potentes herramientas para promover el « diálogo intercultural » (Council of Europe, 2008) en las aulas de lenguas aplicadas pero que no existe una apuesta editorial clara por la competencia intercultural como objetivo de enseñanza/aprendizaje a pesar de las recomendaciones en el seno del EEES.

This paper explores de concept of « intercultural competence » and its presence in textbooks used in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses. Ten relevant textbooks from a variety of fields of expertise and published by international publishing houses in the wake of the European Space for Higher Education (ESHE) and following the entry into force of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages have been selected. Based on this target corpus, this study analyses the degree of compliance of fifteen indicators measuring intercultural competence and classified under three mastery levels – such indicators have been taken from Villa and Poblete’s (2008) proposal for the assessment of generic competences. Results show that textbooks may be powerful tools to foster « intercultural dialogue » (Council of Europe, 2008) in ESP classrooms; however, it is clear that despite the ESHE recommendations intercultural competence is not a teaching/learning goal on its own among publishing houses today.

This paper briefly reviews past and present approaches to the concept of " needs " and " needs analysis " in foreign language (FL) methodology with particular reference to the higher education context and the post-Bologna reform. It discusses the complex interplay of addressing target and learning FL needs by gathering data from different stakeholder groups and making use of different data collection instruments. Then, it explores current trends in needs analysis research and explains how " competences " and " profiling " have surpassed " needs " and " needs analysis " in the educational systems under the European Space of Higher Education. Last, this study addresses the implications of adopting a more critical, quality-driven approach to FL needs analysis with a view to attaining a more participatory and accountable higher education. Keywords: needs analysis, teaching English as a foreign language, European Space for Higher Education, Common European Framework, quality assurance, accountability.

A pilot corpus of ten shipping forecasts issued by the Met Office, on behalf of the maritime and Coastguard Agency, and broadcast by BBC Radio 4 has been collected for this purpose and examined in terms of its rhetorical structure. Adopting a genre-centred approach and making use of Swales’s (1990) terminology, shipping forecasts are analysed and structured into a number of moves and steps. Findings are expected to help linguist researchers to gain knowledge of the textual organisation of shipping forecasts as a very particular type of oral discourse within the professions, and also, to provide maritime English teachers with genre-based tools that may contribute to enhance their teaching practices in maritime English classrooms.

Conclusions point at the new role of ESP teachers as “intercultural brokers” and prove that ESP classrooms provide a suitable context to explore foreign cultures by bringing them in line with each student’s home culture and the specific contents of the ESP course.

This article draws on the JCR-indexed LSP journal Ibérica and the submissions from a group of Anglophone and non-Anglophone scholars who have contributed to the journal with English-written articles despite the fact that Ibérica is a multilingual journal, encourages submissions in four other languages, and
assesses all manuscripts on an equal basis regardless of submission language. In order to broach the “publish in English or perish in academia” dilemma through the eyes of this particular journal the replies from a five-item questionnaire delivered online are illustrated
and discussed. Answers provided by 161 respondents support many of the statements already explored in the literature (particularly as regards threats and opportunities of English as a common language in academia) but also bring to the fore new views and concerns which are worth investigating in depth.""

Due to its high specialisation and limited presence in higher education, the terminology and discourse of maritime English has been the object of scant research. This study presents a corpus-driven investigation of a collection of forecasts issued by the British meteorological office. Also, and following the tenets of Frame-based Terminology in that “the best way to study specialized knowledge units is by studying their behavior in texts” (Faber 2009: 120), this study explores those specialized terms that prevail in shipping forecasts and how words are combined into formulaic expressions to yield communicative meaning.

It also critically assesses deceptive editorial practices that may flout mainstream academic publication standards and put the quality of scientific research and the advantages of publishing open access at stake. The dataset was iteratively coded and qualitatively analysed by means of NVivo 11 Pro. Findings show that predatory discourse overuses boastful language and relies on self-promotional explicit references to high quality in order to persuade authors and achieve their predatory aims. The last section discusses the implications of predatory journals for the dissemination of non-validated knowledge, the spread of misconduct and misdirection, and the impact on scholars aiming for visibility in a global academia.

First, I review the literature on institutional discourse and, particularly, on globalization as a key process that nurtures the discourse of power (Fairclough 2001, 2006) and reproduces stances of institutional dominance (Mayr 2008; Simpson/Mayr 2010). Then, I outline the functions and work of the organization under study, IMO. After this, I explain the research procedure and the data set (i.e. fifteen speeches delivered by the IMO’s Secretary-General on the occasion of the World Maritime Day). Next, findings are presented and discussed according to four main themes that have emerged from the qualitative analysis of the data set: globalization, leadership, hegemony and legitimation. Finally, some concluding remarks are presented.

By ‘emerging journals’, I refer to scholarly journals that are not published by mainstream publishing houses and that lack a demonstrated citation impact but aim at gaining some kind of academic reputation and becoming relevant in a particular scientific field. I begin by providing a more detailed account of the OA model and how journal credibility in the field of the humanities is established and maintained. Next, I describe the work carried out by the Spanish Foundation of Science and Technology in order to arrive at criteria for quality assessment in scientific publishing (Delgado López-Cózar, Ruiz-Pérez & Jiménez-Contreras, 2006), identifying those formal features which have, in Spain at least, come to be considered as mandatory for a quality journal — features now referred to as quality requirements [QRs]. I then go on to explore a collection of OA
humanities journals, with the aim of investigating the extent to which such mandatory QRs are met by each individual journal in the collection. I then group and discuss the results with respect to their compliance or non-compliance in terms of the information quality of the journal as a means of scientific communication, the quality of the editorial process, the journal scientific quality, and the quality of dissemination and visibility of the journal. My conclusions are intended to raise awareness of the existence of these QRs for journal assessment; findings may be helpful to both editors and researchers alike. It is hoped that they might provide insights applicable to other contexts where it is seen as desirable to establish similar quality assurance measures.

Needs analysis (or needs assessment) refers to the systematic investigation of needs for the desi... more Needs analysis (or needs assessment) refers to the systematic investigation of needs for the design of a language course and the optimisation of language teaching and learning, and has been identified as a defining characteristic in the field of languages for specific and academic purposes from the start (Upton, 2012). Needs analysis has a long history and, still today, “[a] confusing plethora of terms exists” (Dudley-Evans & St John, 1998, p.123) to refer to the concept of needs: demands, motivations, deficiencies, goals, gains, wishes, concerns, necessities, lacks, wants, requirements, desires, expectations, constraints, difficulties, preferences, communicative reasons, or communicative situations.
Different sources will provide the analyst with the necessary data and information to conduct the assessment. These may be documentary, like (un-)published literature provided by organisations or corporations that mainly contains job descriptions or occupational tasks, or concern different groups of individuals or stakeholders.

As experts in a particular field, reviewers tend to focus their praise and criticism on the content of the submission; however, comments on the use of the language are also provided because fails in the use of language very often lead to fails in communicating research findings successfully. This paper examines the peer reviews from 119 contributions by Anglophone and non-Anglophone scholars to an English-medium journal and discusses the nature of the praise and criticism contained in such peer review reports with particular attention to the outcome of the review and the types of linguistic infelicities found in themanuscripts. Conclusions aim at gaining a clearer understanding of the research writing process and, more particularly, of the role that English language use plays in the final acceptance or rejection of a research article submitted for publication in international journals.

Firstly, some key issues on ICT-based pedagogy and vocabulary instruction are explored: vocabulary teaching techniques as revised in current literature, what is to be understood by ESP and ME vocabulary, the notion of digital literacy, the contribution of computers to vocabulary learning and development, and implications of the lifelong learning construct within the framework of the European Space for Higher Education. Secondly, relevant literature on recurrent topics in this paper is discussed. Next, this paper focuses on the use of the Moodle glossary tool for strategic specialised vocabulary development and particular attention is paid to the creation of the Maritime Glossary (a project aimed to complement classroom work). To conclude, learners’ opinions based on a questionnaire administered upon the completion of the glossary and interviews held at the end of the course are presented and discussed.

Such matters include the reasons for ESP materials development, the value of authentic materials, the evaluation of published materials, the development of original and adapted in-house materials, and the corresponding implications for the ESP practitioner. Sample activities have been included and commented so as to illustrate the issues raised and to be of practical guidance to in-service and prospective developers of ESP materials.

This special issue of ESP Today concerns the teaching of disciplinary literacies in tertiary ESP ... more This special issue of ESP Today concerns the teaching of disciplinary literacies in tertiary ESP settings. ESP involves research and practice in the teaching and learning of English to prepare learners for competent performance in various workplace and academic situations (Dudley-Evans & St John, 1998). Disciplinary literacy is a key part of such learning given that it addresses discipline-specific speaking, listening to, reading, writing, and viewing of verbal, non-verbal, and multimodal texts. It equips learners with the tools for both functioning in various target performance situations and reflecting on their performance and themselves in relation to the target performance situations of various kinds. Several changes have taken place in ESP which merit a focused discussion of disciplinary literacies. One is that to accommodate the internationalisation of education, universities are running English-medium academic programmes in which subject specialists need to deliver their specialised content while addressing the literacy demands of their disciplines. Their perception on literacy demands is likely to differ from that of ESP practitioners due to the fact that they are from two different communities of practice. It is theoretically and practically useful to see how they identify and teach disciplinary literacies. Another change relates to the growing interest of ESP practitioners in content and language integrated learning (CLIL), where the subject matter and the language specific to the subject matter are both
