Scientific Writing Teachers and Students: Two new lists in scientific
writing are open to anyone with interest in scientific or technical writing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
EST-L: Teachers of English for Science and Technology
* This is an unmoderated discussion list designed for teachers of English
* for Science and Technology (EST).
EST-SL: Students of English for Science and Technology
* This list is where students of EST can go for help with scientific
* writing. Teachers from EST-L will be lurking here.
=====================================================================
Description: EST-L and EST-SL
EST-L is an open, unmoderated discussion list related to the teaching
of scientific and technical writing. It can be considered a "virtual
teacher's lounge" for EST teachers.
To subscribe to EST-L send the message:
subscribe est-l [First Name] [Last Name]
to: listserv at asuvm.inre.asu.edu
I encourage teachers on EST-L to join EST-SL, the student list. In this
way, you will provide an interactive resource for other scientific writers.
You and your students can subscribe to EST-SL by sending the command:
subscribe est-sl [First Name] [Last Name]
to: listserv at asuvm.inre.asu.edu
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Rationale:
English is the "lingua franca" of the worldwide scientific community
today. In most cases, a scientist is unable to publish his findings
internationally unless he can do it in English. This contemporary
reality has inspired me to look for ways to improve the writing ability
of students for whom English is not a native language.
The goal of EST-L is to provide a list where EST teachers can discuss
teaching resources and strategies.
The goal of EST-SL is to provide an interactive resource for EST students
from around the world.
Questions, comments and suggestions are always welcome.
