Informative, insightful, and accessible, this book is designed to
enhance the capacity of graduate and undergraduate students, as
well as early career scholars, to write for academic purposes. Fang
describes key genres of academic writing, common rhetorical moves
associated with each genre, essential skills needed to write the
genres, and linguistic resources and strategies that are functional
and effective for performing these moves and skills. Fang's
functional linguistic approach to academic writing enables readers
to do so much more than write grammatically well-formed sentences.
It leverages writing as a process of designing meaning to position
language choices as the central focus, illuminating how language is
a creative resource for presenting information, developing
argument, embedding perspectives, engaging audience, and
structuring text across genres and disciplines. Covering reading
responses, book reviews, literature reviews, argumentative essays,
empirical research articles, grant proposals, and more, this text
is an all-in-one resource for building a successful career in
academic writing and scholarly publishing. Each chapter features
crafts for effective communication, authentic writing examples,
practical applications, and reflective questions. Fang complements
these features with self-assessment tools for writers and tips for
empowering writers. Assuming no technical knowledge, this text is
ideal for both non-native and native English speakers, and suitable
for courses in academic writing, rhetoric and composition, and
language/literacy education.
