Academic Writing helps international students succeed in writing essays and reports for their English-language academic courses. Thoroughly revised and updated, it is designed to let teachers and students easily find the topics they need, both in the classroom and for self-study. Most international students need to write essays and reports for exams and coursework, but writing good academic English is one of the most demanding tasks students face. This new edition of Academic Writing: A Handbook for International Students has been completely revised to help students reach this goal.
The four main parts of Academic Writing are:
- The writing process.
- Elements of writing.
- Vocabulary for writing.
- Writing models.
Each part is divided into short units which contain examples, explanations, and exercises, for use in the classroom or for self-study. The units are organized to allow teachers and students to find the help they need with writing tasks, while cross-referencing allows easy access to relevant sections. In the first part, each stage of the writing process is demonstrated and practiced, from selecting suitable sources, reading, note-making, and planning through to re-writing and proofreading. The fifth edition of this popular course builds on the success of the earlier editions, and has a special focus on the vital topic of academic vocabulary in part three, Vocabulary for Writing. Part three deals with areas such as nouns and adjectives, adverbs and verbs, synonyms, prefixes, and prepositions, in an academic context.
