Packed with clear guidance on the nuts and bolts of grammar and
plenty of examples, this text will help students master the
fundamentals of English grammar and tackle written assignments with

areas of difficulty, such as forming different tenses, using
connectives to link ideas and build an argument, punctuating
sentences and choosing the right words. Each unit is presented on a
double-page spread, making it easy for students to flick through
the book and quickly find the unit they need. Short, focused
exercises at the end of each unit - with answers provided at the
back of the book - make this text ideal for both self-study and
classroom use. This third edition contains four new units on
hedging, being critical and collocation. Improve Your Grammar is an
essential resource for students of all disciplines and levels
wanting to excel at writing, and can be used as a self-study
workbook or on tutor-led grammar modules.
Scholarly dispositions represent the practices and habits of mind
that support consistent success in teaching, learning, and
knowledge creation. To be successful in their undergraduate and
graduate education, students must develop academic skills that
transcend content knowledge, such as receiving and responding to
critical feedback and learning how to collaborate, master academic
writing, and be mindful of ethical research practices. Much is
still unknown about how to teach dispositions, such as how to
design a curriculum to best cultivate habits of mind, and this book
attempts to address this gap while providing practical methods and
strategies that can help higher education practitioners to
cultivate and assess the scholarly dispositions of their students
effectively. The Handbook of Research on Developing Students'
Scholarly Dispositions in Higher Education provides insight on
dispositions that students must learn in higher education and how
higher education faculty can help students to develop these
dispositions, as well as evidence-based methods that help develop
scholarly dispositions for undergraduate and graduate education.
This book provides a plethora of information on scholarly
dispositions and related elements, including teaching time
management, collaboration, and research ethics. It is an ideal
reference source for teachers, academicians, administrators,
researchers, and students aspiring to become researchers and
scholars themselves.
