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. Other books in the series: Giving an Academic
Presentation in English Essential English Grammar and Communication
