This engaging guide will equip students who are non-native speakers of English with the tools and confidence to respond effectively and appropriately to written assignments at university. It supports students in the development of essential writing skills, such as structuring paragraphs and building an argument, and provides practical guidance on adhering to the conventions of academic writing. It guides students systematically through a series of text analyses which bring out key linguistic and rhetorical features, making complex textual issues manageable and understandable for learners of all abilities.

This is an ideal self-study aid for non-native English speakers, both on pre-sessional language courses and on degree programmes, who need to get to grips with the conventions of academic writing.

Arvustused

This book offers many examples of authentic student assignments, as well as excellent activities which develop writing skills. I recommend it to students studying on their own or taking academic writing classes. Writing teachers will find this book very helpful! * Linh Phung, Chatham University, USA * Siew Hean Read provides a systematic, logical and clear guide to academic writing, with opportunities to practise the different skills. One of the most helpful features is that the practice examples are taken from different disciplines, which makes them meaningful to a range of students. I would strongly recommend the book to both students and teachers. * Rosalind Gallacher, University of Strathclyde, UK * Reads guide to academic writing for international students is practical and thorough and firmly based in authentic academic writing. It would be an excellent addition to any EAP library and an asset to international students as they embark on their academic writing journey. * TESOLANZ *
