This book is for university students, with at least a
mid-intermediate level of English. It is designed both for
self-study and also as a support for a course on academic
communication. It can thus be used alongside the companion volumes:
Writing an Academic Paper in English and Giving an Academic
Presentation in English. The book focuses only on those areas that
are either the most commonly found in academic communication and/or
cause the most problems. It is thus considerably more accessible
than a traditional grammar or style guide. Grammar coverage
includes: articles (a/an, the), countable vs uncountable nouns,
modal verbs (can, may, could, might), comparisons, present and past
tenses, link words, prepositions, and verbs that cause grammatical
difficulties. There is a strong focus on those elements that make a
paper more readable, and a presentation more accessible and
memorable: clarity and empathy, sentence length, word order, and
punctuation. There are chapters on two key areas of communication
in academia: writing emails to editors, drafting a CV/resume. The
book is laid out simply, with short explanations, and lots of
example sentences (plus typical mistakes). Other books in the
series: Writing an Academic Paper in English Giving an Academic
Presentation in English Adrian Wallwork is the author of more than
40 ELT and EAP textbooks. He has trained several thousand PhD
students and researchers from around 50 countries to write research
papers and give presentations. He is also the co-founder of

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

This guide draws on English-related errors from around 6000 papers
written by non-native authors, 500 abstracts written by PhD
students, and over 2000 hours of teaching researchers how to write
and present research papers. This new edition has chapters
on exploiting AI tools such as ChatGPT, Google Translate, and
Reverso, for generating, paraphrasing, translating and correcting
texts written in English. It also deals with contemporary issues
such as the use of gender pronouns. Due to its focus on the
specific errors that repeatedly appear in papers written by
non-native authors, this manual is an ideal study guide for use in
universities and research institutes. Such errors are related to
the usage of articles, countable vs. uncountable nouns, tenses,
modal verbs, active vs. passive form, relative clauses, infinitive
vs. -ing form, the genitive, link words, quantifiers, word order,
prepositions, acronyms, abbreviations, numbers and measurements,
punctuation, and spelling. Other titles in this series: Grammar,

Scientific English is possibly the most rewarding area of EFL
teaching. It differs from English for Academic Purposes (EAP) as it
is directed to a much smaller audience: PhD and postdoc students.
Courses on Scientific English are held in universities throughout
the world, yet there is very little support for teachers in
understanding what to teach andhow to teach it. This guide is part
of the English for Academic Research series. Part 1 of the book
sheds light on the world of academia, the writing of research
papers, and the role of journal editors and reviewers. Part 2 gives
practical suggestions on how to help your students improve their
presentation skills. In Part 3 you will learn how to teach academic
skills using nonacademic examples. Parts 1-3 are thus useful for
anyone involved in teaching academic English, whether they have
used the other books in the series or not. Part 4 suggests two
syllabuses for teaching writing and presenting skills, based on the
two core books: English for Writing Research Papers English for
Presentations at International Conferences This book will help you

research),ii) plan courses, and iii) exploit the What's the Buzz?

reasonable deadlines. * If you need people to cooperate with you,
it is essential to highlight the benefits for them of cooperating

have understood the joke or not: A joke is presented to you but
with the paragraphs mixed up. Your task is to put them in the
correct order. The joke has a choice of three punch lines. If you
select the correct one, this should be an indicator that you have
understood the joke. Several two-line jokes are presented together.
The task is to match the first line and the second line. A joke is
presented with some key words missing. The task is to insert the
right word in the right place. Easy English! is a series of books

the author of over 40 books aimed at helping non-native English
speakers to communicate more effectively in English. He has
published with SpringerNature, Oxford University Press, Cambridge
University Press, Scholastic, BEP and the BBC.
If you are a native speaker of English working in business or cross
cultural communication, then this book is for you. You will learn
how to communicate clearly in English with non-native speakers and
minimize misunderstandings. The communication process is analyzed
from the non- native perspective. You will thus understand the
difficulties and frustrations that non-natives encounter in their
relationships (work and social) with you, your colleagues and your
company. Many misunderstandings boil down to language. However when
working in an international environment we tend to blame
misunderstandings on differences in culture. We thus often ignore
the fact that we may simply have misinterpreted what the other
person has said to us, or we may not have been clear in what we
ourselves said to that person.
