dc.description.abstract"This investigation presents both theoretical and practical implications. It responds to a context in which Mexican doctoral students are required to publish articles in English, but often receive limited explicit support. While much ERPP research has described general challenges faced by scholars who write in an additional language, there is still little detailed work on how individual doctoral students in Mexico themselves describe their experience of Discussion writing under these conditions. At a theoretical level, the study contributes to the broader field of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and English for Research Publication Purposes (ERPP) by bringing together three dimensions that are often treated separately: (a) perceived linguistic and structural challenges, (b) coping strategies, and (c) affective factors. By focusing specifically on Discussion sections and on the accounts of two doctoral students in ecology and chemical engineering, the research offers a fine-grained view of how high publication demands, limited access to support, and the norms of English-medium science interact in a concrete Mexican context. Ideas from Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and genre theory are used to interpret these accounts, but the focus remains on the students’ own perceptions rather than on evaluating a particular teaching intervention".
