Synopsis

Are you involved in writing theses, journal articles, book chapters or monographs? Then this is the book for you. It analyses seven ‘pillars’ of English academic writing: well-planned texts; well-designed paragraphs; well-constructed sentences; reader-friendly punctuation; cohesive devices that make the text ‘hang together’; well-chosen and well-used citations; and the means by which readers are guided through a text and persuaded by it.

Written in an accessible style, English Academic Writing offers

  • Over 200 best-practice examples from real research texts
  • Hands-on language tips in ‘Toolboxes’
  • ‘Makeovers’ showing how texts can be improved
  • ‘In brief’ mini-summaries at key junctures in the text
  • ‘Takeaways’ for each chapter
  • A bank of phrases realising key functions of academic English
