Description

Are you a non-native English speaker studying or preparing to study at an English-language university?

If so, this book is for you. This engaging guide equips students with the tools and confidence to respond effectively and appropriately to written assignments at university. It will help you to develop essential writing skills, such as structuring paragraphs and building an argument, and provides practical guidance on adhering to the conventions of academic writing. It guides the reader systematically through a series of text analyses which bring out key linguistic and rhetorical features, making complex textual issues manageable and understandable for learners of all abilities.

Reorganised to allow for easier navigability and revised for greater accessibility, the new edition now includes:

- An expanded introduction to show students how to use the book successfully
- A writing checklist to review the key principles of skills covered in the book
- A broader range of examples
- More practical activities
- More on plagiarism

This is an ideal self-study aid for non-native English speakers, both on pre-sessional language courses and on degree programmes, who need to get to grips with the conventions of academic writing.
