Explains understanding the intended audience, the purpose of the
paper, and academic genres; includes the use of task-based
methodology, analytic group discussion, and genre
consciousness-raising; shows how to write summaries and critiques;
features "language focus" sections that address linguistic elements
as they affect the wider rhetorical objectives; and helps students
position themselves as junior scholars in their academic
communities. Among the many changes in the third edition: newer,
longer, and more authentic texts and examples greater discipline
variety in texts (added texts from hard sciences and engineering)
more in-depth treatment of research articles greater emphasis on
vocabulary issues revised flow-of-ideas section additional tasks
that require students to do their own research more corpus-informed
content The Commentary has also been revised and expanded. This
edition of Academic Writing for Graduate Students, like its
predecessors, has many special features: It is based on the large
body of research literature dealing with the features of academic
(or research) English and extensive classroom experience. It is as
much concerned with developing academic writers as it is improving
academic texts. It provides assistance with writing part-genres
(problem-solutions and Methods and Discussion sections) and genres
(book reviews,research papers). Its approach is analytical and
rhetorical-users apply analytical skills to the discourses of their
chosen disciplines to explore how effective academic writing is
achieved. It includes a rich variety of tasks and activities,
ranging from small-scale language points to issues of how students
can best position themselves as junior researchers.
