| 505 | _a"This text is specifically designed to help nonnative graduate students improve their academic writing in English. It consists of eight linked units plus three appendixes. The units start with writing at the paragraph level and conclude with the construction of a research paper. The genre-based approach allows detailed attention to the purposes, structures, and styles of particular kinds of texts. In addition, the approach is strategic; it assumes that graduate students need to write in ways that enhance their credibility in the eyes of their instructors. Academic Writing for Graduate Students does not neglect areas of academic grammar and vocabulary found to be troublesome for nonnative speakers of English. These are handled through "Language Focus" sections so placed in the text that they tie in with the wider rhetorical objectives. | ||
| 505 |
_aIn addition, Academic Writing for Graduate Students has several other special features:
_tIt is based on the growing body of research literature deadling with the features of academic and research English. _tIt builds on the high-level analytic skills typical of its target audience. In particular, it helps students to learn to scrutinize texts from their own chosen fields so that they can come to recognize the discourse conventions operating in that field. _tThe activities are strongly and imaginatively task based. _tIt gives attention to certain writing situations not covered by previous textbooks; these include using electronic mail and producing critiques and conference abstracts."
