Academic performance is judged in part on one’s level of linguistic competence in English. As a consequence, scholars who wish to succeed on the academic field must be able to write in English not only fluently but also eloquently. This places non-native English scholars in a disadvantageous position. The goals of this professional development workshop (PDW) are therefore to have a discussion regarding the various challenges that non-native English scholars face when writing and publishing in English and to share concrete tips on improving academic writing in English. We bring together a panel of experienced and well-published management scholars who approach the theme from diverse perspectives. In the first segment of the PDW, our six panelists will share their experiences and insights into the art of writing, publishing, and collaborating as non-native English scholars and with them. In the second part of the PDW, we will continue with a practice-oriented roundtable discussion, delving into the issues presented in the first segment of the workshop. We will conclude the PDW with a session-wide Q&A and a summary of lessons learned.
