Writing an Academic Paper in English - Intermediate Level (Paperback, 1st ed. 2022)

This book is for university students, with at least a mid-intermediate level of English. It can be used as part of an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course, either alone or with the companion volume Giving an Academic Presentation in English. The chapters are independent so that EAP teachers and students can choose those sections that best fit their needs. This means that a course can range from a minimum of 20 hours, up to 60 hours or more. There is an introductory chapter that includes what role academics play in today's world, where success is not just measured in terms of paper output but also involvement in interdisciplinary projects and supporting society at large. Each chapter covers a particular section of a paper (Abstract, Introduction, Methods etc) and begins with a discussion exercise on what the exact purpose of each section is. This purpose is also highlighted by comparisons with non-academic situations where similar skills are required. There are many examples and templates - none of which are lengthy or complex - but which are designed to highlight key points. Students learn what style to adopt (we vs impersonal), the correct tenses to use in each section, typical mistakes, and useful phrases. The course is highly practical and is also designed to be fun to use.
