New edition of Academic Writing for Business Students arriving in February

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.
