Academic English Writing Skills for International Students: Reference and Workbook

What is the difference between 'describe' and 'analyse'? Why is it important to be 'cautious' when making academic statements? How can you make your writing 'sound' more academic? What are comma splices, run-on sentences and sentence fragments? What is the key to effective paraphrasing? What is the difference between an essay and a report? How can I use 'connectives' effectively? You will find the answers to these and many other questions about academic writing in 'Academic Writing Skills (Reference and Workbook)'. Each of the 25 units tackles a particular aspect of academic writing that students frequently find problematic (e.g. the use of synonyms, referencing, the use of tenses) and provides exercises to test your knowledge and a reference section in which the key notions of each unit are fully explained. Whether you complete the exercises or just concentrate on the reference sections, this book will give you a much clearer understanding of what is expected of you when writing academic English at college or university.
