| Teachers at a science university were surveyed for their feelings toward students reading in English as part of the curriculum. The information was gathered as part of a needs analysis to create a syllabus for the English Reading Skills course for first-year students. Responses were collected about undergraduate and graduate students; teachers were asked their opinions about what both types of students should read in English in preparation for their science careers, and about the English materials that are currently in use at the university. The results showed that most respondents use English textbooks, in-class prints, journal articles, and Internet sites as the most common materials for undergraduate and graduate school science courses. Teachers use... |

| According to the concepts of cognitive neuropsychology, there are two principal routes of reading processing: a lexical route, in which global reading of words occurs and a phonological route, responsible for the conversion of the graphemes into their respective phonemes. In the present study, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to investigate the patterns of cerebral activation in lexical and phonological reading by 13 healthy women with a formal educational level greater than 11 years. Participants were submitted to a silent reading task containing three types of stimuli: real words (irregular and foreign words), nonwords and illegitimate graphic stimuli. An increased number of activated voxels were identified by fMRI in the word... |

| The regular assessment of Brazilian scientific output means that individual university departments need to constantly improve the quantity and quality of their scientific output. A significant proportion of this output involves the work of Master’s and Doctoral students, but getting this work published in a suitable journal can often prove to be a challenge. Although students’ lack of fluency in English is a contributing factor, many of the problems observed have an early origin in the formulation of the research problem and its relevance to current research trends in the international literature. In short, more time needs to be spent in the library and less in the laboratory, and more effort needs to be made in teaching students basic research skills such... |
