Academic Writing

Academic Writing assists new and established researchers in the process of writing and editing English texts. Its objectives are threefold:
- to give GUIDELINES for using academic style and language and for writing specific academic genres, such as abstracts, research proposals and especially research articles;
- to provide a wide range of vocabulary and grammar RESOURCES for practice and consultation;
- to teach learners STRATEGIES for improving and editing their own writing.

The book can be used for self-study as well as in the context of an academic writing course. It can also serve as a reference work to be consulted when writing and editing texts.
