Fourth edition now published!

This new, fourth edition of Academic Writing: A Handbook for International Students has just been published by Routledge. The book has been completely revised and updated to help students reach their academic goals.

The four main parts of Academic Writing are:

•     The Writing Process
• ·         Elements of Writing
• ·         Vocabulary for Writing
• ·         Writing Models

The fourth edition of this popular course builds on the success of the earlier editions, and has a special focus on the vital topic of academic vocabulary in part three, Vocabulary for Writing. This deals with areas such as nouns and adjectives, adverbs and verbs, synonyms, prefixes and prepositions, in an academic context.

Each part is divided into short units which contain examples, explanations and exercises, for use in the classroom or for self-study. The units are clearly organised to allow teachers and students find the help they need with writing tasks. Cross-referencing allow easy access to relevant sections.

In the first part each stage of the writing process is demonstrated and practised, from selecting suitable sources, reading, note-making and planning through to re-writing and proof-reading.

All international students wanting to maximise their academic potential will find this practical and easy-to-use book an invaluable guide to writing in English for their degree courses.

This edition includes a full answer key and glossary of academic terms.
