Writing Using Sources for Academic Purposes: Theory, Research and
Practice provides research-based information about key components
of source-based writing, and the challenges it presents for
novices. Proficiency in source-based writing is an essential and
challenging goal for all inexperienced academic writers, from both
L1 and L2 backgrounds. This comprehensive book presents an
innovative, integrated approach for graduate students, teaching
faculty, and practice-oriented researchers in ESP/EAP around the
world. Each chapter includes suggestions and sample tasks for
self-study or classroom use. Incorporating reviews of research and
scholarly knowledge as well as information about likely challenges
for novices, the book examines: (1) Changing views on the origins
of novices' difficulties (2) Pre-writing tasks that writers need to
work through, from locating and evaluating sources to proficient
reading-to-write and summarizing strategies (3) Citing types and
purposes (4) The more sophisticated abilities of conveying an
appropriate stance and engaging with readers (5) Disciplinary
citing practices This book will be of interest to undergraduate and
postgraduate writers from a variety of backgrounds, as well as
their teachers and supervisors. It will be relevant to the growing
number of researchers from non-English speaking backgrounds who are
obliged to publish their work in English language international
journals, and scholars who may be interested in carrying out
research related to source-based writing.
