ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC RESEARCH WRITING AN ACAD...

This book is for university students  with at least a mid-intermediate level of English. It can
be used as part of an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course  either alone or with the
companion volume Giving an Academic Presentation in English. The chapters are independent so
that EAP teachers and students can choose those sections that best fit their needs. This means
that a course can range from a minimum of 20 hours  up to 60 hours or more. There is an
introductory chapter that includes what role academics play in today's world  where success is
not just measured in terms of paper output but also involvement in interdisciplinary projects
and supporting society at large. Each chapter covers a particular section of a paper (Abstract
Introduction  Methods etc) and begins with a discussion exercise on what the exact purpose of
each section is. This purpose is also highlighted by comparisons with non-academic situations
where similar skills are required. There are many examples and templates - none of which are
lengthy or complex - but which are designed to highlight key points. Students learn what style
to adopt (we vs impersonal)  the correct tenses to use in each section  typical mistakes  and
useful phrases. The course is highly practical and is also designed to be fun to use. Other
