In order to assess the project, two surveys were conducted among the participants by the end of the academic year: one addressed to students and another one addressed to mentors. The findings of this study offer evidence to support the belief that this project holds a great potential for the enhancement of university’s quality standards through the direct involvement of its students. Research towards this article was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education, project no. FFI2010-15263, and by the Aragonese Government (Ref. H12).This research is funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education, FPU scholarship: AP2008-04473.

Given the hypothesis of an intercultural (L1 English vs. EAL) and interlinguistic (L1 Spanish vs. L1 English) variation of academic discourse (Lores Sanz, 2011; Martin Martin & Burgess, 2004; Moreno, 2010; Mur Duenas, 2011; Perez-Llantada, 2012, 2014; Sheldon, 2009; Vazquez Orta, 2010), the main motivation behind this study was to map out the contextual variables which shape authorial voice in the academic genre and discipline under scrutiny. The question of variation was approached by interfacing corpus linguistics with discourse analysis (cf. Charles et al., 2009). This methodological design rests on the explanatory power of both quantitative and qualitative evidence obtained from the BHS SERAC 2.0 corpus. First, text-level quantitative findings of statistic...
