I have adopted Baileys Academic Writing: A Handbook for International Students onto my first year undergraduate course for six years. The handbook became an essential guide in better preparing first year university students tackle the challenges of the academic writing process. The chapters assisted students in learning the correct techniques and styles of academic writing but also in fostering critical thinking skills. With the inclusion of additional topics, helpful visuals, and practical activities, the new edition of the handbook becomes an indispensable tool for undergraduate students majoring in English.

This new (sixth) edition of Academic Writing by Stephen Bailey is an invaluable resource in academic writing courses, both for native and non-native English speakers at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It is clearly set out into three sections and contains many example texts and exercises that are useful both in the classroom and for students' self-study, along with answers (including models) and a glossary. The textbook also contains relevant advice on recent changes in the field including the rise of AI platforms. It is highly recommended for students who wish to improve their academic writing using the conventions expected in the genre.
