About the Book

This book analyses the English writing and publishing experiences of 118 scholars from 18 Chinese universities from a social-cognitive perspective. It addresses the challenges and strategies multilingual scholars, particularly Chinese academics, reported in the process of writing and publishing in English. This allows the author to present a taxonomy of journal article writing strategies that correspond to the lived experiences of scholars in China, but which can also be applied to other contexts in the world. This book offers a step-by-step analysis of ethnographic case studies, insights and implications for teaching practice, as well as suggested directions for future research. It will be of particular interest to scholars in the fields of ERPP (English for Research Publication Purposes) as well as students and scholars of applied linguistics more broadly.

Review :
“Understanding Chinese Multilingual Scholars’ Experiences of Writing and Publishing in English – A Social-Cognitive Perspective is a timely monograph … . I am impressed by how Mu organised his book in a streamlined way which told a thoroughly engaging story. … readers will find a wealth of solid and practical writing for publication advice in this book, making it a truly worthy addition to any scholar’s library.” (Liwen Bing, Journal of English for Research Publication Purposes, Vol. 3 (2), 2022) “Understanding Chinese Multilingual Scholars’ Experiences of Writing and Publishing in English: A Social-Cognitive Perspective provides a timely and insightful response to this need. … Its developmental perspective, innovative theoretical framework, unique case selection, and thoughtful pedagogical implications make it a valuable reference for ERPP and EAP researchers, practitioners, curriculum designers, and emerging scholars. … I find this volume completely engaging and highly inspiring from the perspectives of writing, teaching, and research. The book is well structured.” (Yanning Dong, Journal of Second Language Writing, Vol. 55, March, 2022) “This book makes valuable contributions to the research and pedagogy of EAP and ERPP. … the author’s taxonomy of writing and teaching strategies provides interesting suggestions for EAP teachers worldwide. … the book opens up a number of practical avenues for further study, making a significant theoretical, methodological and practical contribution to the field. Although the volume is tailored to the needs of EAP writers, researchers, and teachers, it might well equally inspire policymakers and other practitioners in related fields.” (Shuozi Wu and Xiqin Liu, Journal of English for Academic Purposes, November 2, 2021) “A worthy addition to your library of knowledge. I found it to be a very readable text which has helped develop my writing skills and how I approach my writing in English. I believe that works such as this help lay a solid foundation for myself and any other academics aspiring to publish consistently internationally. … The contribution this book makes to the study of Chinese multilingual scholars’ experiences of writing and publishing in English is noteworthy and possibly far-reaching.” (Xiufeng Zhang and Hengwen Yang, System, April 17, 2021)
