Article Review for Undergraduate Science Students

Abstract

As part of their study in English for Science Education, fourth semester students in the Faculty of Science, Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD), complete a module in article review. This paper discusses the development and outcomes of the article review module. Following a short introductory section about science discourse, the paper provides background to the students who contributed to this study and outlines the module and procedures that guided the students’ work. The paper then presents students’ views of the article review module which were collected by questionnaire, forum discussion and personal appraisal. Finally, the paper briefly discusses what the study has revealed and how it might shape future teaching in the English for Science Education course. The investigation described in this paper was supported by a research grant from Universiti Brunei Darussalam.
