ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC RESEARCH ESSENTIAL ENGLI...

This book is for university students  with at least a mid-intermediate level of English. It is
designed both for self-study and also as a support for a course on academic communication. It
can thus be used alongside the companion volumes: Writing an Academic Paper in English and
Giving an Academic Presentation in English. The book focuses only on those areas that are
either the most commonly found in academic communication and or cause the most problems. It is
thus considerably more accessible than a traditional grammar or style guide. Grammar coverage
includes: articles (a an  the)  countable vs uncountable nouns  modal verbs (can  may  could 
might)  comparisons  present and past tenses  link words  prepositions  and verbs that cause
grammatical difficulties. There is a strong focus on those elements that make a paper more
readable  and a presentation more accessible and memorable: clarity and empathy  sentence
length  word order  and punctuation. There are chapters on two key areas of communication in
academia: writing emails to editors  drafting a CV resume. The book is laid out simply  with
short explanations  and lots of example sentences (plus typical mistakes). Other books in the
series: Writing an Academic Paper in English Giving an Academic Presentation in English Adrian

English-speaking researchers.
