International students of Business or
Economics often need to write essays and reports for exams and coursework, and this
new, second edition of Academic Writing
for International Students of
Business has been completely revised and updated to help them succeed with
these tasks.
This book explains the academic writing
process from start to finish, and practises all the key writing skills in the
context of Business Studies. The course can be used either with a teacher or
for self-study, and is clearly organised in four parts:
1. The Writing Process, from assessing
sources to proof-reading
2. Elements of Writing, practising skills
such as making comparisons
3. Vocabulary for Writing, dealing with
areas such as nouns and adjectives, adverbs and verbs, synonyms, prefixes and
prepositions, in an academic context
4. Writing Models, illustrating case
studies, reports, longer essays and other key genres.
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. Cross-referencing allow easy access to relevant sections.
This is an up-to date course which reflects
the interests and issues of contemporary Business studies. 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, and it will
also help students planning a career with international companies or
organisations, where proficiency in written English is a key skill.
